Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vision training methods, such as pinhole glasses, only provide partial and static stimulation to the eye muscles and visual cortex, limiting the holistic recovery of optimal vision by not simultaneously re-educating the different brain skills involved in vision.

Innovation Solution

A set of vision training goggles with multiple glasses, each obscuring a different part of the visual field, featuring larger transparent areas than traditional pinhole glasses, designed for successive use to dynamically train vertical, horizontal, lateral, and peripheral vision, promoting cooperative brain function.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If pinhole glasses are used for vision training, then light scattering is eliminated and retinal blurring is reduced, but the stimulation to eye muscles and visual cortex is only partial and static

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual acuityVSAvoidcomprehensive vision training
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The training set is divided into multiple pairs of glasses, each pair containing one or more transparent portions positioned at different locations (central, lateral, superior, inferior fields). This segmentation allows each glass pair to target specific visual field regions and stimulate different brain centers, thereby achieving comprehensive vision training that overcomes the partial stimulation limitation of traditional pinhole glasses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If traditional pinhole glasses are used, then the structure is simple, but the transparent areas are small and limit the field of vision coverage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveglasses structureVSAvoidtransparent area
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Different pairs of glasses in the training set have transparent portions with different sizes and positions tailored to specific training objectives. Some glasses have small central pinholes for acuity training, while others have larger transparent areas in lateral, superior, or inferior fields for peripheral vision and eye muscle training. This local quality differentiation allows each glass pair to optimize its function while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If a single pair of glasses is used for vision training, then the training focus is concentrated, but different brain skills involved in vision cannot be simultaneously retrained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining simplicityVSAvoidmulti-skill vision training
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The training methodology dynamically progresses through different glass pairs in a predetermined sequence, with each pair targeting specific visual skills. The training begins with central vision glasses and progressively incorporates lateral, superior, and inferior field glasses to stimulate different brain centers. This dynamic, staged approach allows comprehensive multi-skill training while maintaining operational simplicity through clear progression guidelines.

AI summary

The spectacle set comprises several spectacles (1) for vision training that are different to each other, intended to be used in succession and each comprising at least one opaque part (2) that blocks vision and at least one transparent part (3) that allows vision, this at least one opaque part (2) and this at least one transparent part (3) being different for each of the spectacles (1), at least one transparent part (3) not being in the form of a hole but in the form of a thin, longitudinal, transparent slot (4) at least 1.5 millimetres wide or in the form of a large, continuous, transparent surface (5) with an area of at least 50 square millimetres. The invention also concerns a vision training method that consists of wearing each of the spectacles (1) of the spectacle set in succession.
