Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a myopia prevention device. A myopia prevention device of the present invention comprises a light transmission part selected from a group consisting of an eyesight correcting tool, an eye protection tool, a face protection tool, a sunshade, a display device, a window, a wall, a light source covering, and a coating material. The light transmission part of the device transmits light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and thus suppresses the occurrence and progression of myopia. Further, a myopia prevention device comprises a light emission part selected from a group consisting of lighting equipment, a display device, and a light irradiation device. The light emission part of the device emits light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and thus suppresses the occurrence and progression of myopia.

Claims (22)

1. A myopia prevention device, comprising:

a light transmission part selected from the group consisting of an eyesight correcting tool, an eye protection tool, a face protection tool, a sunshade, a display device, a window, a wall, a light source covering, and a coating material; the light transmission part of the device transmitting light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and thus suppressing the occurrence and progression of myopia,

wherein an irradiance at which the light having a wavelength within the range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and transmitted by the light transmission part reaches an eye is 1.0 mW/cm 2 or less.

2. The myopia prevention device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light transmission part does not transmit light having a wavelength of 315 nm or less.

3. The myopia prevention device according to claim 2 , wherein

a transmission rate of the light having a wavelength of 315 nm or less is 1% or less.

4. The myopia prevention device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light transmission part does not transmit light having a wavelength less than 350 nm.

5. The myopia prevention device according to claim 1 , wherein

the light transmission part further transmits light having a wavelength greater than 400 nm.

6. A myopia prevention device, comprising:

a light emission part selected from the group consisting of lighting equipment, a display device, and a light irradiation device; the light emission part of the device emitting light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and thus suppressing the occurrence and progression of myopia,

wherein an irradiance at which the light having a wavelength within the range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and emitted by the light emission part reaches an eye is 1.0 mW/cm 2 or less.

7. The myopia prevention device according to claim 6 , wherein

the light emission part further emits light having a wavelength greater than 400 nm.

8. The myopia prevention device according to claim 6 , further comprising a light-emitting device comprising an excitation light emission part that emits excitation light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive, and fluorescent substances of red, green, and blue provided so as to cover the excitation light emission part.

9. The myopia prevention device according to claim 6 , further comprising a light-emitting device comprising a light emission part that emits light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive, and light emission parts of red, green, and blue.

10. A set, comprising:

a first myopia prevention device comprising a light transmission part selected from the group consisting of an eyesight correcting tool, an eye protection tool, a face protection tool, a sunshade, a display device, a window, a wall, a light source covering, and a coating material, the light transmission part of the first myopia prevention device transmitting light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and thus suppressing the occurrence and progression of myopia; and

a second myopia prevention device comprising a light emission part selected from the group consisting of lighting equipment, a display device, and a light irradiation device, the light emission part of the second myopia prevention device emitting light having a wavelength within a range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and thus suppressing the occurrence and progression of myopia,

wherein in each of the first and second myopia prevention devices, an irradiance at which the light having a wavelength within the range of 350 nm to 400 nm inclusive and transmitted or emitted by the light transmission part or the light emission part reaches an eye is 1.0 mW/cm 2 or less.
