Abstract
A method for application of light to one or more eyes (300) of a user is disclosed. The method comprises identification (110) of location of an optic disk (330) on a retina (320) in the one or more eyes (300) and selectively applying (115) the light onto the optic disc (330) to stimulate the optic disk (330).
Claims20
A method for invisible targeting with light of melanopsin in one or more eyes of a user, comprising:
- identification of a location of an optic disk on a retina in the one or more eyes;
- and
- positioning a light emitting source to spatially align a position and size of the light on the optic disk to make the emitted light invisible to the user;
- and
- selectively applying the light, configured to stimulate melanopsin, onto the optic disc to invisibly target and stimulate the melanopsin located at the optic disk to inhibit a progression of myopia of the user.
A method for a treatment of myopia of a user by invisible targeting with light of melanopsin in one or more eyes of the user, the method comprising:
- identification of location of an optic disk in a retina in one or more eyes;
- and
- positioning a light emitting source to spatially align a position and size of the light on the optic disk to make the emitted light invisible to the user;
- and
- selectively applying the light, configured to stimulate melanopsin, onto the optic disc to invisibly target and stimulate the melanopsin located at the optic disc to inhibit a progression of myopia of the user.
A device for invisible targeting with light of melanopsin in one or more eyes of a user, comprising:
- a controller for selecting light configured to stimulate melanopsin;
- a light emitting source for emitting the light;
- an identifier for identifying a location of an optic disk on a retina in the one or more eyes, and an optical system adapted to selectively apply the emitted light, configured to stimulate melanopsin, onto the optic disk, by positioning the light emitting source to spatially align a position and size of the light on the optic disk to make the emitted light invisible to the user and thereby stimulating the melanopsin located at the optic disk to inhibit a progression of myopia of the user.
