5. The method for treating eyesight deficiencies as recited in claim 4, wherein a preferred embodiment provides a setting of two atmospheric pressures for the treatment session.

6. The method for treating eyesight deficiencies as recited in claim 5, wherein the treatment term ranges between one to five months.

7. The method for treating eyesight deficiencies as recited in claim 6, wherein a preferred embodiment of the treatment term is three months.

8. The method for treating eyesight deficiencies as recited in claim 7, wherein the consecutive sessions of treatment session include five consecutive treatment sessions each week of the treatment term.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] A more complete understanding of the present invention may be had by reference to the following Detailed Description and appended claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings wherein:

[0014] FIG. 1 is an outline diagram of the method of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] Referring now to the drawings submitted herewith, wherein various elements depicted therein are not necessarily drawn to scale and wherein through the views and figures like elements are referenced with identical reference numerals, there is illustrated an eyesight improvement method 100 constructed according to the principles of the present invention.

[0016] An embodiment of the present invention is discussed herein with reference to the figures submitted herewith. Those skilled in the art will understand that the detailed description herein with respect to these figures is for explanatory purposes and that it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that alternative embodiments are plausible. By way of example but not by way of limitation, those having skill in the art in light of the present teachings of the present invention will recognize a plurality of alternate and suitable approaches dependent upon the needs of the particular application to implement the functionality of any given detail described herein, beyond that of the particular implementation choices in the embodiment described herein. Various modifications and embodiments are within the scope of the present invention.

[0017] It is to be further understood that the present invention is not limited to the particular methodology, materials, uses and applications described herein, as these may vary. Furthermore, it is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is used for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It must be noted that as used herein and in the claims, the singular forms a, an and the include the plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, a reference to an element is a reference to one or more elements and includes equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art. All conjunctions used are to be understood in the most inclusive sense possible. Thus, the word or should be understood as having the definition of a logical or rather than that of a logical exclusive or unless the context clearly necessitates otherwise. Structures described herein are to be understood also to refer to functional equivalents of such structures. Language that may be construed to express approximation should be so understood unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0018] References to one embodiment, an embodiment, exemplary embodiments, and the like may indicate that the embodiment(s) of the invention so described may include a particular feature, structure or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes the particular feature, structure or characteristic.

[0019] Now referring to the drawing submitted herewith, the eyesight improvement method 100 is outlined in its preferred embodiment in FIG. 1 submitted as a part hereof. It is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the variations could occur wherein these variations could be but are not limited to adjustments of atmospheric pressure, treatment term and session length adjustments. Variations are based upon the individual, the health of the individual and the desired outcome by the individual.

[0020] The eyesight improvement method 100 initiates with step 101 wherein an operator of the eyesight improvement method 100 will provide a hyperbaric chamber. The hyperbaric chamber provided is a conventional hyperbaric chamber providing a one hundred percent oxygen air supply to the individual disposed therein and capable of further increasing the atmospheric pressure within the hyperbaric chamber. It is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the eyesight improvement method 100 can be deployed utilizing a monoplace or a multiplace hyperbaric chamber. In step 102, an operator of the eyesight improvement method 100 will measure and record the eyesight of the individual whom will engage in the method of the present invention. Step 103, the individual will enter the interior of the provided hyperbaric chamber. In step 105, the pressure for the interior of the hyperbaric chamber is set. It should be understood within the scope of the present invention that the pressure within the hyperbaric chamber is set within a range of one and a half atmospheric pressure to two and a half atmospheric pressure with the preferred atmospheric pressure for each treatment session being two atmospheric pressure.

[0021] In step 107, the operator will initiate and execute the treatment session for the individual disposed within the interior of the hyperbaric chamber. While alternate lengths of time can be utilized for the treatment sessions, it is desired within the scope of the present invention that the treatment session be provided within a range of fifteen to one hundred and fifty minutes with a preferred length of time being ninety minutes. Step 109, ensuing completion of the treatment session, the individual will exit the hyperbaric chamber. In step 111, on a consecutive day, the individual will return to the provider of the hyperbaric chamber to initiate a subsequent treatment session and enter the hyperbaric chamber. Step 113, the operator of the eyesight improvement method 100 will set the pressure of the hyperbaric chamber to a pressure previously discussed herein. In step 115, the individual will complete the treatment session wherein the length of time for the treatment session is delivered as discussed herein. In step 117, the individual will engage in consecutive treatment sessions in order to fulfill the requirement for the treatment term. While alternate treatment terms can be employed, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention the treatment term is three month with five consecutive treatment session during each week of the treatment term. It is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the treatment term could range between one month and five months with each term having five consecutive treatment session each week during the prescribed term. Step 119, ensuing completion of the treatment term the operator of the eyesight improvement method 100 will measure the eyesight of the individual.

[0022] In the preceding detailed description, reference has been made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments, and certain variants thereof, have been described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention.
