Abstract (en)
The invention is an apparatus for training of the human visual accommodation system. Specifically, the apparatus is useful for training a person to volitionally control his focus to his far point (normally infinity) from a position of myopia due fo functional causes. The functional causes could be due, for example, to a behavioral accommodative spasm or the effects of an empty field. The device may also be used to measure accomodation, the accommodation resting position and the near and far points of vision. The device comprises a number of optical elements arranged on a single optical axis (74). Several of the elements are arranged in order on a movable stage (20) in fixed relationship to each other a light source (30), a lens (32), a target (36), an aperture (42), (48) or (52) and another lens (58). On base (18) and in fixed relationship to each other are eyepiece (70) and a further lens (64). Stage (20) generates an image (72) of target (36) and the stage is movable with respect to base (18) by means of knob (22). The device is utilized for the various training and test functions by following a series of procedural steps, and interchanging the apertures as necessary for the selected procedure.
