Abstract

According to some aspects, a device is presented herein that is configured to be located below an eyelid and worn by a user to treat dry eye. The device includes a first surface configured to face a portion of an eye sclera, and a second surface configured to face and be fully covered by an eyelid. In some embodiments, the device further includes a plurality of stimulation electrodes adjacent the first surface, where the plurality of stimulation electrodes are configured to stimulate the sclera. The device also includes an energy storage element coupled to the plurality of stimulation electrodes. The energy storage element is configured to supply power to the plurality of stimulation electrodes. The device also includes a processor configured to control the supply of energy from the energy storage element to the plurality of stimulation electrodes to stimulate the sclera.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to ophthalmic systems and devices and related methods for treating dry eye, and in particular, but not limited to, to systems and devices and related methods for placement under the eyelids and out of field of view to stimulate the sclera The surface and / or eyelids to trigger the blink reflex or reflex tear production to treat dry eye, and / or heat or otherwise relay information or stimulate the Meibomian glands to stimulate meibum production. Background technique [0002] Dry eye affects millions of people around the world. According to some studies, the third most common reason for visiting an ophthalmologist's office is dry eye symptoms. Recent studies have shown that up to 80 percent of people with dry eye also have a factor called meibomian gland dysfunction (or MGD). MGD is associated with a lack or severe reduction of tear film lipids. [0003] Normally, a lipid layer produced by the meibomian (also kno...
