Abstract:
1. A portable battery operated light emitting device for the treatment of the eye, optic nerve and associated organelles, the device comprising: (i) a housing comprising a cut-out portion or notch for accommodating a nasal bridge when in position on a user, the housing also comprises a first projecting portion for contacting a user's inferior orbital ridge and second projecting portion for contacting a user's superior orbital ridge when in position on a user; (ii) at least one visible light emitting source positioned approximately centrally within the housing so that when pulsed light is emitted directly to a user's eye, a visible portion of emitted light from the at least one visible light emitting source is in the same axis as the user's pupil, to cause the pupil to contract, the visible light being emitted only when pulsed divergent light is not emitted; and (iii) at least two light emitting source that produce pulsed divergent electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths centered at 1072 nm, and being positioned within the housing on either side of the central visible light emitting source so as to direct the electromagnetic radiation centered at 1072 nm to the sclera oblique to the pupillary optical axis and deliver it to the retina, the at least two light emitting sources that produce electromagnetic radiation being angled with respect to a user's eye so that they are not in the same axis as the pupil such that the at least one visible light emitting source causes the user's pupil to constrict out of phase with the divergent electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths centered at 1072 nm to the user's pupil by the at least two light emitting sources so that electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths centered at 1072 nm are only emitted when the visible light is not emitted.
