Japan, Sept. 18 -- UNIV OF UTAH RESEARCH FOUNDATION has got intellectual property rights for 'METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING FREQUENCY AND/OR SEVERITY OF PHOTOPHOBIC RESPONSES OR FOR MODULATING CIRCADIAN CYCLES.' Other related details are as follows:
Application Number: JP,2023-146670
Category (FI): G02C7/10,G02B5/28,G02B5/22
Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical filter which may reduce the frequency and/or severity of photophobic responses or for modulating circadian cycles by controlling light exposure to cells in the human eye in certain wavelengths, such as 480 nm and 590 nm, and a visual spectral response of the human eye, the optical filter which may disrupt the isomerization of melanopsin in the human eye reducing the availability of the active isoform, whereas the attenuation of light weighted across the action potential spectrum of the active isoform attenuates the phototransduction cascade leading to photophobic responses.SOLUTION: Embodiments of an optical filter are described. In one embodiment, an optical filter may be configured to transmit less than a first amount of light in certain wavelengths, and to transmit more than a second amount of light weighted across the visual spectral response. Methods of use and methods of manufacturing optical filters are also described.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 26 (Grant)
