Further, the longitudinal member is extendible through an extension mechanism attached to the spectacle frame. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wearable device for vision training and therapy, the device comprising: a spectacle frame including a left rim, a right rim, and a bridge connecting the left rim and the right rim, wherein the left rim and the right rim include a plurality of therapeutic light sources located along the left rim and the right rim, for providing light therapy to both eyes of a user; a longitudinal member connected with the spectacle frame, located below the bridge of the spectacle frame, and extending away from the spectacle frame, along a line of sight of the user, wherein the longitudinal member includes a plurality of colored light sources connected by a white stripe arranged to be viewable by both of the eyes of the user; and a controller connected with the plurality of therapeutic light sources and the plurality of colored light sources; wherein the controller is configured to sequentially control a display of each of the plurality of colored light sources, arranged in a linear arrangement, to both eyes of the user; and wherein the longitudinal member is extendible through an extension mechanism attached with the spectacle frame. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of therapeutic light sources is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in a range of 630 nm to 880 nm. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the longitudinal member and the extension mechanism are included in a housing detachably attached with the spectacle frame. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The device as claimed in claim 3, wherein an attachment and a detachment of the housing are adapted to be achieved through one or more of a snap-fit arrangement, loop and hook fasteners based arrangement, spring loaded clips based arrangement, and magnetic coupling based arrangements. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extension mechanism further includes: a spool including a coil spring adapted to roll out and roll in the longitudinal member; a locking button connected with a locking arrester via a flexible member; wherein the flexible member is adapted to keep the locking arrester biased against the longitudinal member; and wherein, in use, when the locking button is pressed downward, a convex shape of the flexible member is adapted to cause the locking arrester to move upwards and release the longitudinal member. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extension mechanism further includes: a spool adapted to roll out and roll in the longitudinal member; a pneumatic pump configured to generate pressurized air; and an air inlet pipe connecting the pneumatic pump with an inlet nozzle provided at an inlet to an air cavity of the longitudinal member; and a lever is adapted to lock the longitudinal member once the longitudinal member has been extended to a predetermined length; wherein, in use, a supply of pressurized air from the pneumatic pump into the air cavity is adapted to cause an extension of the longitudinal member. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of therapeutic light sources are configured to emit electromagnetic radiation in an infrared range of wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of therapeutic light sources are separated from each other by a distance varying between 0.002 inches and 0.08 inches, along the left rim and the right rim. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of colored light sources are separated from each other by a distance varying between 2 inches and 5 inches, along with the longitudinal member. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of therapeutic light sources and the plurality of colored light sources include a plurality of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to control emission characteristics of the plurality of therapeutic light sources and the plurality of colored light sources in response to user input. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the user input is received through a control interface provided with the device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the user input is received from a remote communication device connected with the device through a communication network. ### Claim 14 A handheld device for vision training and therapy, the device comprising: a spectacle frame including a left rim, a right rim, and a bridge connecting the left rim and the right rim, wherein the left rim and the right rim include a plurality of therapeutic light sources located along the left rim and the right rim, for providing light therapy to both eyes of a user; a longitudinal member connected with the spectacle frame, located below the bridge of the spectacle frame, and extending away from the spectacle frame, along a line of sight of the user, wherein the longitudinal member includes a plurality of colored light sources connected by a white stripe arranged to be viewable by both of the eyes of the user; and a controller connected with the plurality of therapeutic light sources and the plurality of colored light sources; wherein the controller is configured to sequentially control a display of each of the plurality of colored light sources, arranged in a linear arrangement, to both eyes of the user; and wherein the longitudinal member is extendible through an extension mechanism attached with the spectacle frame.
