20230058245 · 2023-02-23 ·

A multi-layer visor system for a surgical hood or garment is provided. The system includes a base film layer and one or more removable film layers that are coextruded at high temperature to form a sterile surface between each of the film layers should the surgeon elect to peel away a soiled or splattered removable film layer during the course of a surgical procedure so that an unobstructed view can be maintained. Thus, no separate sterilization step is required in order to sterilize the layers of the visor system. Each of the removable film layers can additionally include a tab having distinctive features in order to enable a wearer to easily distinguish between the tabs in order to make it easier for a wearer to know which tab to pull first to remove the outermost removable film layer.

The deflection by the deflector shield prevents potentially infectious or injurious debris from reaching and harming the eyes of the patient that may enter through the bottom gaps.

Eyewear-based System and Method to Mechanically Increase Intraocular Pressure

In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to an eyewear-based system and method comprised of an ocular compression device positioned around a user's head to compress the globes of a user's eyes using direct mechanical force to artificially elevate the user's intraocular pressure. An application of this system is to increase intraocular pressure in users with glaucoma or users who are at risk for glaucoma to assess novel biomarkers for glaucoma progression. The ocular compression device may be used in conjunction with an ocular imaging device, such as an optical coherence tomography angiography device, to characterize changes in the user's optic nerve head structure as a function of intraocular pressure. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.
