A schoolboy from Russia created a device to treat his sister’s strabismus
Gleb Smorodinov, a 9th grade student at the Kazan IT Lyceum, presented his invention at a meeting with the head of Rospatent Yuri Zubov. A student has created a device for treating strabismus in children, which automates the therapy process. The device has already been patented and is ready for production.
The device is based on the Pospelov method, which uses light flashes to correct vision. Previously, parents had to manually switch flashes and children had to focus their eyes on the light source for an hour. Gleb's device makes this process more convenient and efficient. Children can press the necessary buttons themselves and engage in therapy without outside help.
Gleb came up with his invention while watching his younger sister, who suffered from strabismus, practice the Pospelov method. He decided to help her and other children with this illness.
The head of Rospatent, Yuri Zubov, praised Gleb for his innovation and promised to support his project. He also expressed hope that Gleb’s device will help many children improve their vision.
