A portable eye washing station includes a spike that can pierce a fluid source and the spike is hollow to pass fluid therethrough. A feed tube is fluidly coupled to the spike to receive the fluid from the spike. A fitting is fluidly coupled to the second end of the feed tube and the fitting has a pair of outputs to pass the fluid therethrough. A distribution tube is fluidly coupled to each of the outputs on the fitting such that the distribution tube forms a closed loop for wearing around a user's head. A cannula is fluidly coupled to the distribution tube to release the fluid and the cannula has a pair of outlets. Each of the outlets is aligned with a respective one of the user's eyes when the distribution tube is worn around the user's head. Thus, each of the outlets directs the fluid into the user's eyes for flushing the user's eyes.

A method for an eye treatment includes the steps of: providing guide elements made on the specific sites of a subject which comprise (1) a site that intersects a perpendicular line of medial malleolus and an extension line of medial margin on OS metatasale primam 1 and 2, (2) a pupil of a left or right eye, (3) ST 36 point of a left or right leg, and (4) SP point; and controlling a temperature of the guide elements to be a range from 40 to 50±5° C., thereby applying the thermal stimulus to the respective specific sites to increase a blood flow by 60% or more and promote secretion of a growth hormone in the subject.

A neurocognitive training system for improving visual motor responses is disclosed herein. The neurocognitive training system includes a user input device configured to output an input signal based upon an input response by the user; a visual display device having an output screen, the visual display device configured to display one or more visual objects on the output screen; and a data processing device, the data processing device operatively coupled to the user input device and the visual display device. The data processing device being programmed to generate and display one or more visual objects on the output screen; receive an input signal from the user input device based upon an input response by the user; and determine, based upon the input signal received from the user input device, whether the user performed a correct action with respect to the one or more visual objects displayed on the output screen.

A vision protection method is provided to ensure a viewer to rest his/her eyes after viewing on an electronic device for a certain period, wherein the eyesight protection method includes the steps of detecting at least one of eye activities of the viewer and working parameter of the electronic device in a working mode of the electronic device during the viewer is working on a current work displaying by the electronic device; switching the working mode of the electronic device to a resting mode when an abnormal eye activity of the viewer is detected; and switching the electronic device from the resting mode back to the working mode to resume the display of the current work of the electronic device. Therefore, the viewer is enforced to rest his/her eyes after every certain period.

Photo-stress by focal light bleaches the retina and temporarily reduced retinal function. Recovery from suppression is measurable by monocular and binocular endpoints, when recovery is prolonged a disease is suspected. The monocular endpoint is the moment the dark central afterimage representing the macula becomes the same brightness as the peripheral ring representing unstimulated retina and the binocular endpoint is brightness equality of rivalrous stimuli. Four embodiments are described for measuring relative brightness sense photo-stress utilizing monocular and binocular methodology.

A system and method of treating hyperactivity of an eyelid closing muscle in a subject includes providing a stimulation system in the subject with the hyperactivity of the eyelid closing muscle, sensing an activity of the eyelid closing muscle, and selectively stimulating eyelid opening muscle(s) or innervating nerves, eyelid opening reflexes, or eyelid opening reflexes in non-muscular tissue, using the stimulation system, without substantially activating the eyelid closing muscle. The system and method evokes eyelid movement in the subject.

Described here are devices, systems, and methods for treating one or more conditions (such as dry eye) or improving ocular health by providing stimulation to nasal or sinus tissue. Generally, the devices may be handheld or implantable. In some variations, the handheld devices may have a stimulator body and a stimulator probe having one or more nasal insertion prongs. When the devices and systems are used to treat dry eye, nasal or sinus tissue may be stimulated to increase tear production, reduce the symptoms of dry eye, and/or improve ocular surface health.

A system for improving a patient's vision, comprising means for diagnosing and monitoring a deterioration in macular vision or macular vision loss in the patient's eye, and means for augmenting the use of a preferred retinal location (PRL) and eccentric fixation in case the deterioration in macular vision or macular vision loss was detected. A method for improving a patient's vision, comprising: diagnosing and monitoring a deterioration in macular vision or macular vision. loss in the patient's eye; and augmenting the use of a preferred retinal location (PRL) and eccentric fixation in case the deterioration in macular vision or macular vision loss was detected.

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 apparatus providing heat for treatment of an eyelid includes a heater unit configured to apply heat directly to an outer surface of the eyelid when an electrical signal is applied to the heater unit. The heater unit is affixed directly to the outer surface of the eyelid using an adhesive. A temperature regulator applies the electrical signal to the heater unit in order to achieve heating of the outer surface of the eyelid to a specified temperature range. A method is also disclosed that comprises affixing a heater unit directly into contact with the outer surface of the eyelid using an the adhesive. A control signal is applied to the heater unit to generate heat to the outer surface of the eyelid and is maintained for a period of time until the outer surface of the eyelid is heated to a specified temperature range.
