Anti-claustrophobic glasses

Claim 1

For use in the environment of an MRI scanner by a plurality of patients subject to claustrophobic type fears, the combination of: (a) non magnetic lens holding means adapted to be worn by a patient; (b) a set of pairs of lenses sized to easily press fit in and out of said lens holding means, each of said pairs of lenses having different optical correction so that a pair of lenses can be selected which approximate the correction required by each patient wearing said lens holding means; (c) bracket means attached to said lens holding mean for mounting a mirror in the patient's direct line of sight; and (d) mirror means rotationally mounted in said bracket means for redirecting the patient's vision in a direction that is substantially unobstructed by the scanner to a remote, preselected target, said mirror means including handle means extending through said bracket means for rotationally adjusting said mirror means to redirect the patient's sight path, said handle means being mounted in elastomeric grommet means in said bracket means so that an adjustment, once made, is frictionally held in place, whereby the elements of the combination are made of materials that do not affect the MRI scan but allow a patient whose direct vision is obscured by the scanner to view a scene other than the scanner.
