Safety Helmet Visor with a Treated Surface for Eye Protection and Therapy
The invention is a filtering, transparent device for preventing damage to healthy eyes and for the prophylaxis and therapy of pseudophakic eyes and/or eyes with macular and retinal neurodegeneration. It is characterized by being the result of applying a yellow filter to the transparent or translucent surface(s) of the visor of a protective helmet, to protect the eyes from the short wavelengths of the visible spectrum (500 to 380 nm). Several possible uses are indicated such as for motorcyclists, in sports, and occupational uses. The invention avoids the difficulties and risks of existing ways of protecting healthy eyes or eyes subjected to cataract surgery, and improves the protection of eyes suffering retinal neurodegeneration, simply by applying a filter to the transparent or translucent surface(s) of the visor of any protective helmet. The invention consists of combining the transparent or translucent surface(s) of the visor of any protective helmet with a yellow filter that absorbs short wavelengths of light from 500 to 380 nm.The invention is intended for the ophthalmology sector of the market, within the area of optical applications of a therapeutic and/or prophylactic nature.
The invention is a transparent, filtering device that protects healthy eyes and/or pseudophakic eyes (eyes that have undergone cataract surgery) and/or eyes with macular and retinal degeneration from the short wavelengths of the visible spectrum. It is elaborated by applying a yellow filter to the transparent or translucent surface/s of the visor of a safety helmet to protect the eyes from the short wavelengths of the visible spectrum (500 to 380 nm). As an example, it is indicated for use as a component of protective helmets used by motorcyclists, sports persons, or workers, such as metal welders or other workers exposed to high light intensities.
