Device to prevent retinal hypoxia
A contact lens configured to decrease dark adaptation comprises one or more LEDs and directs light from the LED away from the fovea and toward the parafovea or perifoveal regions of the retain. In some embodiments, soft contact lens embedded with one or more arrays of microLEDs and electronics operating the LEDs is configured to be worn at night in order to inhibit dark adaptation and reduce oxygen consumption by the rods. The contact lens may be made of a single layer of a contact lens material or multiple layers sandwiching a flexible transparent plastic layer comprising the electronics and the LED arrays. The contact lens may be made of a hydrophilic hydrogel material that is biocompatible to the human cornea, or a silicone hydrogel material. The contact lens may be spherical and may provide refractive correction to the eye of the wearer.
POLARIZED FLUORESCENT LIGHT THERAPY SYSTEM AND METHOD
The present disclosure generally relates to fluorescent light energy system and to methods of using such systems in the modulation of inflammatory response, in particular in inflammatory response associated with healing, and for modulation of a treatment regimen for promoting healing of a wound or a condition of the skin and/or soft tissue.
ENTERTAINMENT DEVICE FOR PROMOTING GAMMA OSCILATIONS
The present disclosure describes a method for neuromodulating a subject, comprising providing (i) a cognitively engaging content, and (ii) a gamma oscillation inducing waveform, wherein said gamma oscillation inducing waveform: comprises an intensity that renders said gamma oscillation inducing waveform imperceptible to said subject; and causes a therapeutic improvement in a cognitive function, thereby neuromodulating said subject.
Head worn electronic device
An electronic device is disclosed comprising: a frame configured to be worn on a head of a user; a first light emitter mounted on the frame and configured to illuminate a first eye of the user, wherein an intensity and a spectrum of the first light emitter is adjustable; a second light emitter mounted on the frame and configured to illuminate a second eye of the user, wherein an intensity and a spectrum of the second light emitter is adjustable; a clock; a memory configured to store a target light profile comprising time-resolved data on an amount of light to be accumulated over time by the first and/or second eye of the user, wherein the time-resolved data comprises information about spectrum and intensity; and a controller configured to control the intensity and spectrum of the first and second light emitter based on the time and the target light profile.
Optical designs of electronic apparatus to decrease myopia progression
A soft contact lens comprises a plurality of light sources coupled to a plurality of optical elements. The plurality of light sources and the plurality of optical elements are embedded in a soft contact lens material. Each of said plurality of optical elements generates an image focused in front of a peripheral retina of a wearer. In some embodiments, each of the images is focused at a distance in front of the peripheral retina at a location, and each of the images comprises a depth of focus and a spatial resolution. The depth of focus can be less than the distance, and the spatial resolution greater than a spatial resolution of the peripheral retina at the location.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING LIPS AND SKIN
Methods and devices for treating a targeted tissue including a skin or a lip and more particularly methods and devices that enhances absorption of treatment media into tissue for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.
ANTI-INFECTIVE LIGHT RADIATION METHODS AND DEVICES
Anti-infective light radiation methods and devices are disclosed. In an example, an anti-infective radiation device includes a lighting device configured to provide an output energy of at least one antimicrobial electromagnetic radiation wavelength(s) within a range of 350 nm - 450 nm. The lighting device is configured to be directed towards an exterior of a living species and/or integrated and/or placed within an interior of a living species. The example lighting device projects one or more sufficient levels of the electromagnetic wavelength radiation directly onto and/or through one or more layers of living species tissue so that the electromagnetic wavelength radiation reaches near or directly onto unwanted infectious living cells or organisms. The antimicrobial electromagnetic radiation damages or kills unwanted infectious cells or organisms on or within the living species.
