The present invention provides materials and methods for forming an interface between an appliance and living tissue using a foamed elastomeric material which contacts the tissue or similar surfaces. The elastomeric material is in the form of a durable and washable material that, when applied to or implanted in living tissue or similar surfaces, displaces and flows in to non-conforming areas creating an air and/or water tight seal that substantially returns to an original shape when removed from the contact surface. The appliance may also include structural elements designed to optimize comfort, compliance and seal achieved through minimizing the pressure variation along the contact surface of the therapy device.

An improved system and method for an eye patch can comprise a patch and a pad. The patch can be substantially flat and flexible. Furthermore, the patch can comprise a bottom surface, a top surface, and a concave edge. The bottom surface can comprise an adhesive capable of temporarily attaching to a skin. The concave edge can be on one side of the patch. Additionally, the concave edge can substantially match the anatomical curve of a human's eye socket. The pad can be a raised portion on the patch that can be capable of pushing upper natural eyelashes upward when a client closes her eyes. The pad can be attachable along the concave edge.

In one form, a projection frame eyelid heater includes a heating element and a frame. The heating element has first and second heat producing areas separated by a distance corresponding to a separation of human eyes and has first and second ends. The heating element produces heat in response to an application of a voltage thereto. The frame includes a left temple attachment portion and a right temple attachment portion each having a respective back portion extending downward and inward, a left eyelid chassis portion, an intermediate chassis portion, and a right eyelid chassis portion, wherein the intermediate chassis portion connects the left eyelid chassis portion and the right eyelid chassis portion. Each of the left eyelid chassis portion and the right eyelid chassis portion is adjustable with respect to the intermediate chassis portion in a direction from the user's nose toward the user's left and right eyes, respectively.

Systems and methods for adjusting a user's circadian rhythm are provided. In some embodiments, a system may be configured to obtain information relating to the user's present circadian rhythm and information relating to one or more anticipated times of sleep and/or wakefulness. The system may generate a model for estimating the user's circadian rhythm. The system may also generate a model for estimating the user's homeostatic sleep drive. Based on one or both models, the system may generate instructions for activating the light source to adjust the user's circadian rhythm.

The disclosure provides a light-proof eye protection paste for preventing eyes from being damaged by light during phototherapy and a preparation method thereof, which solves problems of easy to fall off, skin burns, sticking off eyelashes, and provides safe and comfortable eye protection for phototherapy patients. The light-proof eye protection paste is composed of a decorative layer (1), a shading layer (2), a thermal insulating layer (3), a medical adhesive layer (4), an eyelash protective layer (5) and an isolation layer (6) from outside to inside, wherein the decorative layer (1) is located at the outermost layer for aesthetic decoration, the shading layer (2) is located inside the decorative layer (1) and used for blocking light and preventing light from penetrating to hurt the skin, the thermal insulating layer (3) is located inside the shading layer (2) and used for absorbing the strong light energy transmitted to the shading layer (2), the medical adhesive layer (4) is located inside the thermal insulating layer (3) and used for sticking and fixing on the skin around eyes, the eyelash protective layer (5) is located inside the medical adhesive layer (4) and used for protecting eyelashes from sticking off by the medical adhesive layer (4), and the isolation layer (6) is located inside the medical adhesive layer (4) and the eyelash protective layer (5), and is used for protecting the unused medical adhesive layer (4). The structure of the eye protection paste is compounded, cut and tailored by different methods to obtain the required products.

The stress reducing sleep mask uses a construction of layered lightweight fabrics that, when combined through the manufacturing process, effectively block light, enhance air flow, and improve comfort. The unique combination of materials and molded construction (forming) allows the mask to conform as needed around specific facial anatomical landmarks, reducing gaps that allow light filtration. This device includes a refined headband adjustment, which eliminates the need for uncomfortable buckles, or applications that create other forms of discomfort due to sleeping position or hair entanglements. An integrated acupressure device, which has been shown in clinical studies to induce calm and relaxation, helps users to fall asleep more easily. The pressure of the device can be controlled through adjustment of the headband.
