An eye treatment device for cleaning of eyelashes and eyelid margins in the treatment of an eye disease is provided. Said eye treatment device comprises a swab consisting of a treatment member and a substantially rigid rod, and a housing formed as a handle that accommodates a drive unit for moving the swab relative to the drive unit. The eye treatment device comprises heating means for heating the swab.

A hand-held device for home use is disclosed for cleaning eyelids, eye margins and eye lashes. The device includes a housing, which forms a handle, and a cleaning head, attached on one end. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, a vibration generator is used to drive the cleaning head sonically. The sonically driven cleaning head is placed in contact with one or both eye lids for each eye and either held in a stationary position or moved from side to side or back and forth. The vibration of the cleaning head in contact with the soap and effectively scrubs the upper eyelid or lower eyelid without the need for vigorous scrubbing or significant agility. The vibrating cleaning head is a more effective daily home cleaning tool for eyelids and eyelashes than known devices with rotary swabs or sponges.

Particular embodiments disclosed herein provide a membrane delamination device for delaminating a membrane from a retina of an eye. The membrane delamination device comprises an elastic component and a blade element at least partially covered by the elastic component. The blade element comprises a plurality of teeth. The blade element comprises a plurality of blades configured to cut connective tissues between the membrane and the retina. Each of the plurality of blades is positioned between two adjacent teeth of the plurality of teeth.

An apparatus and method are provided for treating blepharitis, MGD and DED. The apparatus is self-administered for removing debris from an eyelid. The apparatus includes bristles and a pair of pads formed within the apparatus and specifically within an eyelid contact region. When self-compressed against the eyelid of the user, the user can self-treat the eyelid border by exfoliating the meibomian glands to promote the clear flow of meibum onto the eye.

An ocular debris removal device for removing magnetic debris from the eye includes a handle with a first end, a second end, and a body extending between the first and second ends. A magnet is attached to the second end of the handle and extends away therefrom. The magnet has an attached end and a distal end with respect to the handle. The magnet has a perimeter surface between the attached and distal ends wherein the perimeter surface bounds a center longitudinal axis of the magnet. The center longitudinal axis of the magnet is co-linear with a center longitudinal axis of the handle extending through the first and second ends.

The present disclosure provides a recovery device and a method for recovering a magnetic particle. The recovery device includes a main pipe, a needle tube, and a suction power mechanism. The needle tube is connected to a first end of the main pipe, and a terminal of the needle tube is magnetic for adsorbing a magnetic particle to the terminal of the needle tube. The suction power mechanism is configured to absorb the magnetic particle attached on the terminal of the needle tube into the main pipe. The present disclosure utilizes a magnetic needle tube to implement adsorption of the magnetic particle while the magnetic particle is absorbed into the main pipe by an absorption power mechanism, thus achieving recovering of the magnetic particle.

In certain embodiments, a system for performing refractive treatment of an eye comprises a laser, a printer, and a computer. The laser emits a laser beam to prepare the eye for the refractive treatment. The printer prints material onto a print area of a target. The printer comprises a printer head and a printer controller. The printer head directs the material onto the print area, and the printer controller moves the printer head to direct the material onto a specific location of the print area. The computer comprises a memory and processors. The memory stores instructions for a pattern for the target. The pattern is designed to provide the refractive treatment for the eye. The processors instruct the printer controller to move the printer head to print the material onto the print area according to the pattern.

Board-like forceps for ophthalmic use comprise forceps handles and forceps boards. The forceps handles comprise an upper forceps handle (1) and a lower forceps handle (2), two ends of which are connected to form a V-type structure. The length of the lower forceps handle (2) is greater than that of the upper forceps handle (1). An upper forceps board (3) and a lower forceps board (4) having a same shape are correspondingly disposed on unconnected ends of the upper forceps handle (1) and the lower forceps handle (2), and are bent in a same side direction. An included angle formed by the upper forceps board (3) and the upper forceps handle (1) is smaller than an included angle formed by the lower forceps board (4) and the lower forceps handle (2).

A hand-held device for home use is disclosed for cleaning eyelids, eye margins and eye lashes. The device includes a housing, which forms a handle, and a cleaning head, attached on one end. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, a vibration generator is used to drive the cleaning head sonically. The sonically driven cleaning head is placed in contact with one or both eye lids for each eye and either held in a stationary position or moved from side to side or back and forth. The vibration of the cleaning head in contact with the soap and effectively scrubs the upper eyelid or lower eyelid without the need for vigorous scrubbing or significant agility. The vibrating cleaning head is a more effective daily home cleaning tool for eyelids and eyelashes than known devices with rotary swabs or sponges.

An ophthalmic tool and methods are shown. Examples of ophthalmic tools include cannula removal portions that include one or more grippers. In use the grippers, a mandrel, and a tool base provide a surgeon with a level of control that facilitates removal of a cannula. Other examples include a wound visualization tool that may be in combination with a cannula remover.
