Abstract

The visual apparatus makes it possible to limit the instantaneous luminous intensity without reducing the field of vision and comprises a plate with an opaque surface having a transparent slot, a support (2) on which said plate is mounted, said support bearing on part of the body of said person, said plate thus being placed in front of an eye of said person and a scanning means (8) connected to said plate for scanning the opaque surface of said plate by said transparent slot. The apparatus is used more particularly as medical spectacles in the case of cataracts, or as sunglasses.
