Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of massager equipment, in particular to an eyeball massager for central retinal artery occlusion. Background Art

[0002] Acute retinal artery ischemia, including vascular transient monocular vision loss, branch retinal artery occlusion, central retinal artery occlusion, and ophthalmic artery occlusion, is a common cause of acute, painless monocular vision loss. Any condition that blocks blood flow to the central retinal artery can cause acute retinal artery ischemia. The central retinal artery arises from the ophthalmic artery (the first intracranial branch of the internal carotid artery) and primarily supplies the inner retina, including the macula and fovea. Central retinal artery occlusion is a severe ophthalmic emergency with severe visual impairment. Common causes include arteriosclerosis, embolism, or arteritis. Clinical manifestations include sudden, painless, rapid vision loss, visual field loss, and even complete vision loss. Fundus findings typically show a pale, ischemic retina with a "cherry-red" appearance in the macula, due to the persistence of choroidal blood supply to the macula. Diagnosis includes fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Treatment needs to be carried out early. Emergency treatment includes lowering intraocular pressure (such as anterior chamber puncture or use of ocular hypotensive drugs such as acetazolamide to improve retinal blood flow), eye massage (gentle eye massage for a few minutes, through intermittent pressure fluctuations, to promote the displacement of blood clots and try to restore blood flow), oxygen inhalation (increase the oxygen content in the blood and improve retinal hypoxia), vasodilation (sublingual nitroglycerin) and other methods to improve retinal blood supply and avoid permanent damage. However, even with timely treatment, the prognosis is still poor.

[0003] Eye massage is a simple, non-invasive intervention commonly used in the acute phase of central retinal artery occlusion. It aims to physically promote clot displacement and thereby restore retinal blood perfusion. Although its effectiveness is controversial, it is often used as part of early intervention in emergency departments due to its simplicity and minimal risk. The principle is to periodically apply and release pressure to the eyeball, producing transient intraocular pressure fluctuations. The goal is to temporarily increase and decrease IOP (increasing IOP increases intravascular pressure, potentially facilitating clot dislodgement; decreasing IOP promotes blood flow restoration). This dilation of the retinal artery increases the chance of clot displacement. Physical compression of the retinal artery may help loosen or mobilize clots, allowing them to enter smaller, terminal vessels, thereby alleviating the central portion of the occlusion, increasing retinal oxygen supply, and mitigating ischemic damage. This procedure is suitable for patients within a few hours of onset, particularly when other treatment options are unavailable. The routine operation steps include the patient lying on his back with his eyes closed, and the doctor or patient using the fingertips to gently press the surface of the eyelid, slowly and continuously applying pressure, each compression lasting about 10 seconds, then quickly releasing the pressure, resting for a few seconds, repeating this operation several times, and each massage lasting 5-15 minutes. Maintain moderate strength and avoid excessive force to prevent eye damage. This method is not suitable for patients who have recently undergone eye surgery, eye trauma or glaucoma, as it may aggravate eye damage. Although eyeball massage is simple to operate, its clinical effect is limited. Studies have shown that eyeball massage helps restore blood flow only in a small number of patients, and is often closely related to the timing of treatment, the effectiveness of massage, and the size and location of the embolus. And during the massage, you need to pay attention to the appropriate strength to avoid excessive pressure on the eyeball. Overall, the visual prognosis of central retinal artery occlusion is usually poor, and most patients suffer severe and irreversible visual impairment after the onset of the disease. Eye massage is a potential first aid measure, especially when no other treatment is immediately available. Although the success rate is not high, it may play an auxiliary role in restoring retinal blood flow when combined with other emergency treatment measures, such as lowering intraocular pressure and oxygen therapy. As the most convenient community central hospital for patients to seek medical treatment, if it is equipped with a fundus camera, trained community doctors will be able to accurately and quickly diagnose and treat the disease. Designing an eye massager for treating emergency patients with central retinal artery occlusion can provide a convenient and effective tool for community medical care and first aid, improve the effectiveness of eye massage, increase the rate of recovery, and buy time for further treatment. No reports of such eye massagers have been found in the prior art.
