A removably attachable phototherapy and vibration system for attachment to and treatment of skin beneath the eyes includes a therapeutic lamp platform for radiant lamps such as LEDs disposed in an assembly, and including a vibrating element, facing towards a patient and a plurality of light apertures substantially aligned with the LEDs for communicating lamp radiation from the lamps to a user. The lamps, vibrating element and associated circuitry are disposed so that the attachable surface is relatively smooth and seamless towards the patient. The system includes two devices one for the right and the other for the left eye of the user. Each device is attachable to beneath each eye with a suitable adhesive such as a reusable silicone strip. The system includes a charging dock for storing and charging the devices.

The disclosed adhesive eyelid closure article has a support layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive on the support layer. The support layer defines a main body and a non-adhesive tab area. The support layer has a central portion and an outer circumferential portion. The non-adhesive tab area is delimited by two recesses located in the outer circumferential portion of the support layer. The support layer has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface. The pressure sensitive adhesive is on at least part of the outer circumferential portion of the first major surface of the support layer, forming an adhesive coated area of the support layer.

A conformable covering comprises an outer portion with rigidity to resist movement on the cornea and an inner portion to contact the cornea and provide an environment for epithelial regeneration. The inner portion of the covering can be configured in many ways so as to conform at least partially to an ablated stromal surface so as to correct vision. The conformable inner portion may have at least some rigidity so as to smooth the epithelium such that the epithelium regenerates rapidly and is guided with the covering so as to form a smooth layer for vision. The inner portion may comprise an amount of rigidity within a range from about 1104 Pa*m3 to about 5104 Pa*m3 so as to deflect and conform at least partially to the ablated cornea and smooth an inner portion of the ablation with an amount of pressure when deflected.

Controllers for dry eye treatment apparatus and methods are described herein which generally comprise a patch or strip affixed to the skin of the upper and/or lower eyelids to deliver heat to the one or more meibomian glands contained within the underlying skin. The treatment strip or strips include one or more strips configured to adhere to an underlying region of skin in proximity to one or both eyes of a subject such that the one or more strips allow for the subject to blink naturally without restriction from the one or more patches. A controller is in communication with the one or more strips and is programmable to monitor a temperature of the one or more strips to provide a treatment therapy above a threshold temperature of, e.g., 39 C., and below a maximum temperature of, e.g., 48 C., over a treatment period of 12 minutes.

Dry eye treatment apparatus and methods are described herein which generally comprise a patch or strip affixed to the skin of the upper and/or lower eyelids to deliver heat or other forms of energy, pressure, drugs, moisture, etc. (alone or in combination) to the one or more meibomian glands contained within the underlying skin. The treatment strip or strips include one or more strips configured to adhere to an underlying region of skin in proximity to one or both eyes of a subject such that the one or more strips allow for the subject to blink naturally without restriction from the one or more patches. Moreover, the one or more strips may be configured to emit energy to the underlying region of skin and where the one or more strips are shaped to follow a location of one or more meibomiam glands contained within the underlying region of skin.

The present disclosure relates to an ocular bandage (100, 100a), the ocular bandage (100, 100a) comprising: a membrane (10) comprising, at least, silk fibroin, obtained by means of a porogen and a crosslinker agent; anda central portion (20), the central portion blocking light within a pre-established wavelength range; and whereinthe central portion (20) is dimensioned with respect to the membrane (10) such that there are at least outwardly located portions (30) of the membrane that are not covered by the central portion. The disclosure also relates to a kit for implanting an ocular bandage (100, 100a) onto ocular tissue, and to a method for implanting the ocular bandage by photobonding.

An eyelid covering and metal eye covering that calms eyelid movement. It is the first available option made to artists in this field that gives them a solution to help a widely known problem with safety in the lash field. An anti-flutter eyelid covering system has an eyelid shroud shaped to cover a user's eyelid in use, and defining an exterior face and a base face; an adhesive on the base face of the eyelid shroud; in which the eyelid shroud is weighted, or has a weighted component that is weighted, to, in use, press by gravity upon the eyelid sufficiently to reduce a natural fluttering effect of a user's eyelid while the user's head is reclined.

The disclosed adhesive eyelid closure article has a support layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive on the support layer. The support layer defines a main body and a non-adhesive tab area. The support layer has a central portion and an outer circumferential portion. The non-adhesive tab area is delimited by two recesses located in the outer circumferential portion of the support layer. The support layer has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface. The pressure sensitive adhesive is on at least part of the outer circumferential portion of the first major surface of the support layer, forming an adhesive coated area of the support layer.

An eyelid closure patch having a main body with a front face and a back face, where either one, or both, of the front face and/or the back face has a silicone adhesive at least partially covering the surface thereof. The main body can also have a semi-permeable or occlusive membrane.

A dry eye treatment device and method including a pliable thermal pack engageable upon a first side of a vibration ring is provided. The vibration ring has a second side adapted for positioning on the face of a user to communicate vibration to the eyelids of a user from the vibration ring, and heat or cold from a bulging portion of the thermal pack communicating through a pair of openings in the vibration ring. A cover forming a cavity on the face of the user to house the vibration ring and the thermal pack may also be employed.
