A suboccipital compression pad including a pad member configured to contact an occipital region of a patient, and a pair of securing straps extending respectively from opposing ends of the pad member, at least one of the securing straps being provided with a fastening member at a distal end thereof and configured to fasten the at least one of the securing straps to the other securing strap proximate the forehead of the patient to compress the pad member to the occipital region, wherein each of the securing straps are configured with an open space such that portions of the respective securing straps are located above and below the patient's ears, without covering the ears, when the securing straps are fastened together.

The invention is directed to an eye cover for maintaining eye closure during sleep or for daytime wear for certain eye conditions. The eye cover is sized and shaped so as to fit within the orbit of the patient's eye rather than around the orbit. By fitting closely within the orbit of the eye, the eye cover is much less likely to be disturbed or dislodged during movement over the course of a night's sleep. The eye cover further is porous and includes fenestrations to provide for the passage of air to the eye.

A conformable covering comprises an outer portion with rigidity to resist movement on the cornea and an inner portion to contact the cornea and provide an environment for epithelial regeneration. The inner portion of the covering can be configured in many ways so as to conform at least partially to an ablated stromal surface so as to correct vision. The conformable inner portion may have at least some rigidity so as to smooth the epithelium such that the epithelium regenerates rapidly and is guided with the covering so as to form a smooth layer for vision. The inner portion may comprise an amount of rigidity within a range from about 1×10−4 Pa*m3 to about 5×10−4 Pa*m3 so as to deflect and conform at least partially to the ablated cornea and smooth an inner portion of the ablation with an amount of pressure when deflected.

The present invention provides an improved bilateral compression device for post-operative surgical site, the bilateral compression device including a central cavity presented by an outerwall and a circumscribing sidewall, the central cavity in receipt of a post-operative pillow further comprising an outer membrane separated from an inner membrane for exerting a central compressive force and central indentation force deflection towards the post-operative surgical area which varies from a surrounding compression force.

The present embodiments relate to a method of treating dry eyes. The method includes a plurality of visits to an eye doctor with each even numbered visit focused on a first eye and each odd numbered visit focused on a second eye. The plurality of visits comprises use of intense pulsed light (“IPL”) therapy, low level light therapy, an ocular nebulizer, dehydrated amniotic membranes, biologic eye drops, advanced lubricants, eyelid debridement, meibomian gland imaging and a slit lamp.

An ophthalmic shield to be worn on an eye is disclosed. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic shield may have a minimum horizontal dimension of 18 mm and a minimum vertical dimension of 15 mm. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic shield may have a minimum horizontal dimension of 20 mm and a minimum vertical dimension of 17 mm. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic shield may have a minimum horizontal dimension of 26 mm and a minimum vertical dimension of 22 mm.

A method is disclosed, comprising obtaining at least one metric of an eye; and determining, based on the at least one metric of the eye, at least one parameter for manufacturing an ophthalmic shield to be worn on the eye. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic shield may have a minimum horizontal dimension of 18 mm and a minimum vertical dimension of 15 mm. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic shield may have a minimum horizontal dimension of 20 mm and a minimum vertical dimension of 17 mm. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic shield may have a minimum horizontal dimension of 26 mm and a minimum vertical dimension of 22 mm.

A suboccipital compression pad may include a pad member configured to contact a suboccipital region of a patient. A suboccipital compression pad may include a pair of securing straps extending respectively from opposing ends of the pad member, the pair of securing straps having proximal ends diverging into upper rear straps and lower rear straps to form an open space between the upper rear straps and the lower rear straps such that portions of the upper rear straps are located above ears of the patient and portions of the lower rear straps are located below ears of the patient without covering ears of the patient, wherein one of the upper rear straps and the lower rear straps of the pair of securing straps is configured to be selectively attachable to different locations of a back side of the pad member.

A dry eye treatment device and method including a pliable thermal pack engageable upon a first side of a vibration ring is provided. The vibration ring has a second side adapted for positioning on the face of a user to communicate vibration to the eyelids of a user from the vibration ring, and heat or cold from a bulging portion of the thermal pack communicating through a pair of openings in the vibration ring. A cover forming a cavity on the face of the user to house the vibration ring and the thermal pack may also be employed.

An eye mask for treating and/or preventing periorbital puffiness includes: two side portions extending from a bridge portion, and a retaining component for attaching the eye mask to a face of a user; wherein each side portion includes an orbital region, and an infraorbital region that is configured to apply pressure to a corresponding infraorbital region of the face when the eye mask is attached to the face of the user. Method of manufacturing the eye mask includes obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) facial scan data of the user, generating a mask design, fabricating a mask body by 3D printing and providing, at the mask body, a retaining component.
