Abstract

The present invention provides a myopia-preventing illumination apparatus for illuminating eyeballs and surrounding tissues via light that penetrating periorbital skin, subcutaneous tissue, then pass through peripheral cornea, iris, peripheral lens, uvea, sclera and choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, comprising multiple light source, two units for pupil detector and a CPU controller electrically connects to the light source, wherein the light source provide high intensity light pass through extra pupillary pathway to illuminate eyeball and surrounding tissue so as to provide benefit effect for preventing myopia progression.

Claims (12)

1 . A myopia-preventing high intensity illumination apparatus for illuminating eyeballs and surrounding tissues by extra pupillary pathway via light that penetrating periorbital skin, subcutaneous tissue, pass through peripheral cornea, iris, peripheral lens, uvea, sclera, choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, comprising multiple light sources, two units for pupil detector and a CPU controller and a battery pack for system power supply, the two units for pupil detector detect a size of a pupil;

wherein the pupil detector sends a photo of a position of the pupil to the CPU controller, the CPU controller calculates whether the position of the pupil overlaps with an illuminating position of fine individual light element of light source, when any of the fine individual light element illuminates an area overlap with a pupil region, the CPU controller makes a calculation and shuts off the fine individual light element to prevent high intensity light from entering into the pupil.

2 . The myopia-preventing high intensity illumination apparatus for illuminating eyeballs and surrounding tissues by extra pupillary pathway via light that penetrating periorbital skin, subcutaneous tissue, pass through peripheral cornea, iris, peripheral lens, uvea, sclera, choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, according to claim 1 , wherein the light illuminating cornea region is controlled by two units for pupil detector and the CPU controller to avoid high intensity light to pass through pupil aperture.

3 . The myopia-preventing high intensity illumination apparatus for illuminating eyeballs and surrounding tissues by extra pupillary pathway via light that penetrating periorbital skin, subcutaneous tissue, pass through peripheral cornea, iris, peripheral lens, uvea, sclera, choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, according to claim 1 , wherein each light source of the multiple light sources comprises various spectra, wherein the spectra and compositions thereof can be adjusted according to a requirement, the light source is one type of light source or a composition of various light sources, the illumination level provided by the light source is adjustable, and being adjusted to greater than 0.5 LUX or program adjusted based on different time periods; the illumination timing of the illumination provided by the light source being continuous, intermittent, or adjusted by preset program.

4 . The myopia-preventing high intensity illumination apparatus for illuminating eyeballs and surrounding tissues by extra pupillary pathway via light that penetrating periorbital skin, subcutaneous tissue, pass through peripheral cornea, iris, peripheral lens, uvea, sclera, choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, according to claim 1 , the light illuminating eyeballs and surrounding tissue through an extra-pupillary pathway.
