Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a corrector for correcting lower eyelid entropion. Background Art

[0002] Entropion with trichiasis is the most common eyelid morphological disorder in children. Asians, in particular, have facial features such as a wide nasal root, thick eyelids, epicanthus, and deep eyeballs. This condition is more common in children, with a prevalence of over 50%.

[0003] Entropion and trichiasis cause repeated long-term stimulation of the eyeball, resulting in secondary keratitis and conjunctivitis, which bring health problems such as eye pain, decreased visual quality, and delayed development of eye vision function to children, and also bring certain anxiety and financial burden to the parents of children; some severe patients may even develop corneal ulcers and corneal leukoplakia, requiring corneal transplantation surgery.

[0004] Currently, treatment options for entropion are divided into non-surgical and surgical treatments. Non-surgical treatment involves pressing the lower eyelid with fingers or taping it, which is difficult for children to adhere to and therefore has minimal effectiveness. Surgical treatment requires general anesthesia, which carries certain risks and the potential for recurrence, resulting in high costs, medical burdens, and psychological stress for families. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an effective device to treat entropion with trichiasis, addressing the eye rubbing, eye pain, and corneal damage caused by entropion and trichiasis, while also avoiding some surgical procedures.

[0005] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the shape of the top end of the correction arm 3 is wavy.

[0049] Example 6

[0050] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that one end of the correction arm 3 is clamped with the bracket 1, and the other end is abutted against the lower eyelid, and the bracket 1 is provided with a groove for clamping the correction arm 3; when one of the patient's lower eyelids is abnormal, it is only necessary to clamp and install several correction arms 3 on the corresponding side of the bracket 1, and when both of the patient's lower eyelids are abnormal, it is necessary to install multiple correction arms 3 at the corresponding lower eyelids of the bracket 1.

[0051] This embodiment also provides a method for using a corrector for correcting lower eyelid entropion, as follows:

[0052] First, take a number of correction arms 3 of different sizes that are suitable for the patient's face (the end of each correction arm 3 near the eyelid is different in size), and clip the correction arms 3 onto the bracket 1 one by one to match the patient's face shape;

[0053] Then put the bracket 1 on the patient's face, make sure that the correction arms 3 can abut the patient's lower eyelid, and fix the legs of the bracket 1 at the base of the ear to ensure the stability of the corrector;

[0054] Finally, the tightness of the corrector is adjusted through the second binding rope according to the tightness of the corrector worn by the patient to ensure that the patient is comfortable wearing it and that it fits the patient's face, thereby effectively correcting lower eyelid entropion.

[0055] Example 7

[0056] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the bracket 1 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes for installing the correction arm 3, one end of each correction arm 3 is screwed to the bracket 1, and the other end is in contact with the lower eyelid. By adjusting the screw feed amount of the correction arm 3 and the bracket 1, the length of the correction arm 3 relative to the bracket 1 can be adjusted; when the patient's lower eyelid is abnormal, it is only necessary to screw a plurality of correction arms 3 on the corresponding side of the bracket 1; when the patient's lower eyelids are abnormal at both ends, it is necessary to screw and install multiple correction arms 3 at the corresponding lower eyelid of the bracket 1, see Figure 4 shown.

[0057] This embodiment also provides a method for using a corrector for correcting lower eyelid entropion, as follows:

[0058] First, select the corresponding number of correction arms 3 according to the patient's facial features, and screw the correction arms 3 into the threaded holes of the bracket 1 one by one. Then, adjust the distance of the correction arms 3 into the bracket 1 according to the patient's face shape.

[0059] Then put the bracket 1 on the patient's face, make sure that the correction arms 3 can abut the patient's lower eyelid, and fix the bracket legs 2 at the base of the ear to ensure the stability of the corrector;
