[0021] The epoxy resin composite of the LED bead assembly contains 28 elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, selenium, molybdenum, cobalt, fluorine, iodine, nickel, vanadium, tin, silicon, strontium, boron, rubidium, potassium, sulfur, and chlorine. These elements were carefully selected to enhance the health-promoting functions of the LED bead assembly through their unique physical and chemical properties. They are converted into ionic liquids using advanced processes, ensuring efficient utilization and uniform dispersion. These elements are mixed with the epoxy resin at a 1:100 ratio to achieve optimal performance and safety balance. These elements play important physiological functions in the human body; for details on the specific effects of each element, please refer to the applicant's prior application filed on March 19, 2025, application number CN202510322681.1, "Preparation Process of a Multi-Element Composite Modified Epoxy Resin Lampshade."

[0022] Disinfecting and antibacterial materials and infrared materials can also be added to the lamp bead assembly 3. Nano far-infrared ceramic powder and nano silver antibacterial agent can be added. When the lamp bead assembly is excited by specific light (such as infrared light), it generates heat or active substances that can destroy the bacterial structure and inhibit bacteria.

[0023] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the LED bead assembly 3 at the temple 2 is positioned directly opposite the temple 5, and the LED bead assembly 3 at the frame 1 is positioned in a one-to-one correspondence with the following acupoints: bamboo silk acupoint 6, fish waist acupoint 7, cum bamboo acupoint 8, pupil slender acupoint 9, clear bright acupoint 10, spherical back acupoint 11, four white acupoints and purgative acupoint 12.

[0039] Clears heat and unblocks meridians: Helps relieve redness and burning sensation in the eyes.

[0040] 11 points behind the ball: Location: On the face, at the junction of the outer quarter and inner three-quarters of the infraorbital margin.

[0041] Phototherapy effects: Treatment of fundus diseases: This acupoint is located deep behind the eyeball. Stimulating the Qiuhou acupoint is of great significance for improving optic nerve function and treating fundus diseases such as optic neuritis and retinitis pigmentosa.

[0042] Enhanced phototherapy depth: When combined with other acupoints, it can more effectively transmit light stimulation to the deep structures of the eyeball.

[0043] Sibai acupoint: Location: On the face, directly below the pupil, in the depression of the infraorbital foramen.

[0049] Furthermore, the control circuit board is used to set the phototherapy time, phototherapy brightness, phototherapy frequency and phototherapy mode, and each lamp bead in the lamp bead assembly 3 is independently driven and controlled by the control circuit board.

[0050] Furthermore, the phototherapy mode includes a meridian flow mode, which automatically adjusts the order and timing of light stimulation of acupoints around the eyes according to traditional Chinese medicine theory. Meridian flow is a time-based therapy theory in traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Its core idea is based on the principle that the body's Qi and blood flow through different meridians according to the natural rhythms of time, selecting the optimal time for acupuncture or drug treatment to harmonize Yin and Yang and enhance therapeutic effects. During therapy, the light flashes to create different frequencies, thereby targeting the eyes for therapeutic purposes.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, Standard mode: All LEDs flash alternately at a fixed frequency (e.g., 10Hz) for 15 minutes; Meridian Flow Mode: Based on traditional Chinese medicine theory, the corresponding acupoint lamp beads are automatically activated at different time periods (such as Chen Shi and Wu Shi); Custom mode: Users can set the on / off state, brightness, frequency, and treatment time of each acupoint lamp through the APP.

[0052] Furthermore, the control circuit board also integrates a wireless module, which wirelessly connects to an external remote control terminal. This external remote control terminal is used to remotely adjust phototherapy parameters and supports independent control of the on / off state, brightness, and frequency of each acupoint LED assembly 3. The wireless module can be either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

[0053] Furthermore, the touch switch 4 is located on the side of the frame 1, and the touch switch 4 is triggered by capacitive sensing.

[0054] Furthermore, the power source is a rechargeable battery, which is integrated with the control circuit board inside the temple 2. In one specific embodiment, the power source is a lithium polymer battery, which is charged via a magnetic interface and has a battery life of up to 8 hours.

[0055] Furthermore, the lamp assembly 3 is made of cold light LED lamp beads.

[0056] Furthermore, the lamp assembly 3 is made of infrared thermal light lamps.

[0057] Choose cold light lamp beads: such as LEDs, which generate almost no heat when working and mainly provide light energy of specific wavelengths (such as red light, blue light or terahertz waves) for pure phototherapy, avoiding the influence of thermal effects, and are suitable for users who are sensitive to heat or only need light stimulation.

[0058] Select heating lamp beads: such as incandescent lamp beads or specific infrared lamp beads, which generate significant heat when working, mainly providing a thermotherapy effect, which can promote blood circulation around the eyes and relieve muscle tension. They can be used alone or in combination with phototherapy.

[0059] The control unit can select and activate different types of LED beads, or combine them. For example, in the "photothermal composite mode", the system can control cold light LED beads and heat-generating LED beads to work alternately, providing both light stimulation and heat therapy effects.

[0060] This invention also relates to the optimized selection of LED chips.

[0061] This application includes two groups, H and D, for refractive index comparison experiments.

[0062] Main analysis results: Total data points: 511 wavelength points Wavelength range: 0.1068 - 3.9978 μm Analysis conditions: H_before, H_end, D_before, D_end The key statistical data table and the comparison table of processing results are as follows: Key statistics table

[0063] Comparison and analysis table of treatment effects

[0064] Table of Transmittance Changes Based on DB Value

[0065] The maximum transmittance under H_end conditions is 8.01 dB (633%), indicating a significant gain effect.

[0066] The maximum transmittance under D_end conditions is -0.57 dB (approximately 88%), which is close to the lossless state.

[0067] Based on terahertz transmittance testing, the LED chip exhibits specific transmittance characteristics in the 0-4THz frequency band: Within the 0-3THz range, the transmittance of samples H (white light, 10:100 ratio) and D (blue light, 1:100 ratio) showed little change, indicating that this wavelength band is suitable for basic phototherapy. In the 3-4 THz range, the transmittance of sample D decreased significantly (opposite result), while sample H had a segment with higher transmittance than before, indicating that the white light beads have enhanced penetration in this band and are suitable for deep stimulation.

[0068] Therefore, different material ratios (such as 1%-10%) can be selected for the LED beads according to the treatment needs. White light LED beads with a 10% ratio are preferred to achieve the best transmission effect in the terahertz band.

[0069] The frame 1 and temple 2 are injection molded with pre-embedded light guide channels inside. The LED beads are soldered onto a flexible circuit board and embedded in the light guide material. The wavelength of the LED beads can be selected from red light (630nm), blue light (470nm), or terahertz wave (0.1-4THz) to meet different treatment needs.

[0070] Test data shows that the transmission characteristics of the LED beads in the terahertz band optimize phototherapy efficiency. For example, sample H has increased transmittance at 3-4 THz, which can enhance stimulation of deep tissues; sample D has decreased transmittance at 3-4 THz, making it suitable for surface treatment.

[0071] This invention optimizes LED selection through terahertz transmittance testing, ensuring high transmittance of light in specific wavelengths (such as terahertz waves), thereby enhancing treatment depth and efficacy. Test data shows that different LEDs exhibit significant differences in the 0-4THz frequency band, providing a basis for targeted therapy.

[0072] This invention constructs a complete periorbital acupoint phototherapy system by precisely aligning the LED beads with the nine key acupoints mentioned above. Its function is no longer simple local irradiation, but rather a synergistic systemic therapy that simultaneously stimulates multiple acupoints, acting on the eye meridians and internal organs (such as the liver and kidneys) from different angles and levels, achieving a holistic conditioning effect of "1+1>2". It covers a full range of needs, from relieving superficial muscle fatigue (such as Yuyao and Sibai) to improving deep fundus function (such as the retrobulbar region).

[0073] This application incorporates phototherapy LED components 3 at the frame 1 and temple 2. The glasses use a light-guiding material to precisely direct the light from the LEDs to acupoints around the eyes. For control, users can operate the glasses directly via touch switches 4 located on the frame 1 or temple 2, or connect to a remote control terminal (such as a smartphone app) via a wireless module integrated on the control circuit board. Users can freely adjust the phototherapy time, frequency, and various phototherapy modes, greatly enhancing ease of use and personalization of treatment. This application combines traditional optical technology with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint theory, providing a compact, intelligent, comfortable, and effective eye care and treatment device.
