AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing heated eye masks suffer from uneven heat distribution, insufficient safety, inability to effectively heat the meibomian glands, and excessive energy consumption, and may also cause local skin burns and long-term complications.

Method used

Employing a thin-film-based heater with a 3D-mapped contour design, it provides uniform heating and ensures safety by operating with low current, while delivering optimal temperature in the meibomian gland area.

Benefits of technology

It achieves uniform heating, high safety, and low power consumption for eye lubrication, avoiding local skin burns and long-term complications, and improving the treatment effect of meibomian gland disorders.

Abstract

An eye lubrication device (100) includes a film-based heater (306) sandwiched between a front foam portion (304) and a rear foam portion (302), with an intermediate foam portion (308) supported by the heater (306). The front foam portion (304), the rear foam portion (302), and the intermediate foam portion (308) are thermoformed to form a contoured surface that closely fits a closed eyelid of a user. The film-based heater (306) ensures uniform heating without any hot spots and corresponding side effects.
