Abstract
An eye-wear borne electromagnetic radiation refractive therapy system can comprise an electromagnetic radiation source comprising a ring of LEDs that directs one of its on axis or off axis electromagnetic radiation to a desired peripheral retina area of a wearer's eye; a power source for powering the LEDs, an antenna for receiving signals and a processor for controlling the LEDs; wherein the electromagnetic radiation source includes spectral characteristics similar to outdoor light.
Claims19
An eye-wear borne electromagnetic radiation refractive therapy system, comprising:
- at least one electromagnetic radiation source that directs its electromagnetic radiation to a desired crystalline lens or retina area of a wearer's eye;
- wherein the at least one electromagnetic radiation source is configured to vary at least one of:
- (i) the amplitude of the radiation, (ii) the wavelength or spectral properties of the radiation, (iii) the direction of the radiation, and (iv) the area of the ocular components of the eye which are exposed to the radiation.
An eye-wear borne electromagnetic radiation refractive therapy system, comprising:
- a contact lens or spectacle lens comprising at least one optical element for redirecting electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- means for optically directing ambient light in the contact lens or spectacle lens.
