Optical rehabilitation treatment

Abstract

An optical rehabilitation treatment comprising the steps of: a) subjecting a patient to an anamnesis of his/her ocular defects; b) controlling the patient's maximum visual acuity by positioning the patient first at a distance of about 3 meters, and then at a distance of about 1.5 meters, from an octotype; c) wetting the patient's cornea (2) with a preservatives-free non-reusable physiological saline solution d) applying to the patient at least one contact lens (400) with an initial optical power and, simultaneously, glasses with at least one ophthalmic lens (300) with an initial optical power; e) progressively changing said optical means (300, 400) by gradually increasing their relevant optical powers until a visual improvement is obtained; f) letting the patient with said optical means (300, 400) on for at least one hour, the optical power of each of said optical means (300, 400) being that with which the patient recovered the visual function; g) removing said optical means (300, 400) after at least one hour has passed; h) subjecting again the patient to a control of his/her maximum visual acuity, to determine the obtained visual improvement, wherein said step d) comprises applying to the patient either at least one diverging contact lens (400) with initial optical power of −5.00 diopters and glasses with at least one converging ophthalmic lens (300) with initial optical power of +5.00 diopters, or at least one converging contact lens (400) with initial optical power of +5.00 diopters and glasses with at least one diverging ophthalmic lens (300) with initial optical power of −5.00 diopters.
