Abstract

A chromo therapy device comprises a shade in the form of glasses worn by the user. The glasses are opaque and virtually exclude all light. Various colored lights are fitted to shine onto the inside surface of the shade so that by selecting the desired color of light, this passive use of color produces a relaxed stress-free environment for people with both physiological and physchological symptoms.

Claims

1. A chromo therapy device ot stimulate the retina of the eye with certain light frequencies, said device comprising

a plurality of light emitting diodes each emitting a different light frequency to project their light onto a screen in front of the eyes, and

means to select the light frequency depending on the therapy required, said screen being worn by the user and positioned immediately in front of the eyes to exclude ambient light thereform.

5. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the internal surface of the device is of a material which is slightly diffusing to spread the light which impinges evenly and over said internal surface.

6. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said device is in the form of sun glasses having a set of eyepieces, at least two of each of said light emitting diodes is associated with each of said eyepieces, and said light frequency selection means being associated with said light emitting diodes.

8. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the internal surface of the device is of matt non-reflective material.

9. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 8, wherein said device is formed of opaque material.

2. A chromo therapy device to stimulate the retina of the eyes with a desired light frequency,

said device being in the form of spectacles with side wings to exclude virtually all ambient light, the area in front of the eyes being in the form of a screen;

a plurality of light emitting diodes on the upper portion of the device to project a selected frequency of light onto said screen; and

switch means on said device for selecting the desired light frequency.

3. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said device is in the form of sun glasses and is of opaque material.

4. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the internal surface of the device is of matt non-reflective material.

7. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 4, wherein said device is in the form of sun glasses and is of opaque material.

10. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said device is formed of opaque material.

11. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the internal surface of the device is of matt non-reflective material.

12. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the internal surface of the device is of a material which is slightly diffusing to spread the light which impinges evenly and over said internal surface.

13. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the internal surface of the device is of matt non-reflective material.

14. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the internal surface of the device is of a material which is slightly diffusing to spread the light which impinges evenly and over said internal surface.

15. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 2, wherein at least two each of said light emitting diodes is associated with each of the eyepieces of the spectacles and said switch means.

16. The chromo therapy device as claimed in claim 14, wherein at least two each of said light emitting diodes is associated with each of the eyepieces of the spectacles and said switch means.
