Sensory control headgear which may provide therapeutic benefits by promoting relaxation, improve sleep, snoring reduction or prevention, anxiety control, stress relief, personal growth and motivation, study and learning preparedness, assisting with childbirth, pain control or reduction, relaxation and comfort with surgery, etc.

An ophthalmic laser ablation system is described with various optional features, some especially suitable for non-penetrating filtration on an eye. In one example, focusing of an ablation laser uses a movable lens coupled to a pair of converging light sources, which converge at the focal distance of the lens. In another example, laser ablation settings are selected for optimal ablation and minimal amount of thermal damage of a layer of percolating scleral tissue.

Single use, disposable eye shields will eliminate potential transmission of an infectious agent such as COVID to another patient or a technician, nurse or doctor. The product can be made with inexpensive materials readily available—card stock or translucent pliable plastic and elastic thread. An elastic thread can be used to secure the eye shield in place and thereby allow the eye shield to fit all head sizes. All components of the eye shields may be made from biodegradable components. This eye shield does not have any adhesive, so it can be used for the other eye when performing visual field testing for each eye separately. The translucent version has the added benefit of preventing the patient from dark adapting during the visual field test.

A sleep mask apparatus for use over a user's eyes. The sleep mask apparatus includes an opaque element having an inner surface and an opposing outer surface. The opaque element is sized and configured to extend across both of the user's eyes to mitigate the passage of light toward the user's eyes with the inner surface facing the user and the outer surface facing away from the user. A support element is coupled to the opaque element and includes a first support surface and an opposing second support surface. The inner surface of the opaque element is offset from the first support surface. The support element defines a peripheral margin extending around the opaque element, with the first support surface having an adhesive applied thereto at the peripheral margin to facilitate adhering of the support element to the user.

The device for stimulating the Meibomian glands comprises a cap (2) and a plurality of light-emitting diodes (3) arranged on the inner surface of said cap (2). The light emitting diodes (3) are electrically connected to an external control and/or supply unit (4), provided with a control interface (6). The cap (2) comprises at least one matrix (30) of light-emitting diodes (3) arranged in areas of the inner surface of the cap (2) suitable for facing, in use, the eyelids and the periocular areas of the user.

An apparel system for applying topical treatments includes an article of apparel configured to cover and interface with a skin surface of a human body, the article of apparel including an oleophobic and moisture wicking layer. A method for applying a topical treatment is also disclosed.

The inventive Invisible Face Mask apparatus comprises a headgear or headwear such as a cap, helmet, strap or a visor, which is equipped with an air purifying mechanism, such as an air filter, that filters ambient air, and an air blower which generates an airflow pushing the purified air in a downward direction in front of and adjacent to the user's face.

A chair mounted patient isolation container that increases the effective containment of aerosols is disclosed. In one embodiment, the isolation container includes a plurality of panels, a plurality of tabs and slots for connecting said panels, clinical access ports to allow for maximum clinical range of motion for the dental service provider, and ports for connection of external clinical devices such as external scavenging suction devices for further elimination of aerosol contamination. One embodiment of the container comprises means for mounting the container to a dental procedure chair, such that the device generally encloses the patient's head and upper torso when the patient is positioned on the dental procedure chair.
