A compact UV light delivery device comprises a UV LED, integrated into the compact UV light delivery device, to generate a UV beam; a homogenizing beam coupler, to receive the UV beam from the UV LED, and to homogenize the UV beam such that a measure of non-uniformity of the output homogenized beam is smaller than the measure of non-uniformity of the received UV beam; an illumination optics, to receive the homogenized beam and to forward it as an illumination beam; a spatial light modulator, to modulate the illumination beam into a modulated beam according to a procedure profile; a projection optics, to receive and to project the modulated beam as a projection beam through its objective into an eye of a patient; and a binocular-free imaging system, to image the eye of the patient via the same objective, and to present the image on a user interface.

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for vaginal light therapy of a subject using a device carrying an expandable member and one or more light sources. A distal end of the device carrying the expandable member thereon is introduced a vaginal canal with the expandable member in a contracted condition, the expandable member is expanded within the vaginal canal, the one or more light sources are activated to emit light outwardly at one or more wavelengths within a range of germicidal or other therapeutic light; and the device is removed from the vaginal canal after treatment.

Methods of treating epilepsy are provided. Accordingly, there is provided a method of treating epilepsy in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: (a) administering into a thalamus nucleus of the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a polynucleotide encoding a bistable type II opsin attached to a heterologous ER export signal and/or membrane trafficking signal which enables trafficking of said bistable type II opsin to axonal presynaptic terminals; and (b) exposing a neural region of said subject to light in a wavelength that activates said bistable type II opsin, wherein said neural region comprises a cell body and/or an axon of said thalamus nucleus.
