[0019] The embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] See Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides an eye mask for pregnant patients with hyperthyroidism and exophthalmos, comprising two identical eye mask frames 10. When the two eye mask frames 10 are connected, their opposite sides are provided with interlocking elastic bands 20. When the two eye mask frames 10 are connected, their opposite sides are provided with triangular connecting straps 30. When the two connecting straps 30 are connected, their opposite sides are respectively provided with a Velcro 31 and a Velcro 32. Both sides of the thickness direction of the two eye mask frames 10 are provided with openings, and a pivot connection is made on one side of one of the openings. A protective cover 40 is provided, the outer diameter of which is slightly smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the opening. A soft skin-adhesive layer 50 is provided around the outer edge of one side of the other opening. A drug placement component 60 is detachably provided inside the eye mask frame 10. The drug placement component 60 includes a drug placement frame 61 and a drug-absorbing layer 62, a drug-absorbing padding layer 63, and a soft gauze layer 64 disposed on the drug placement frame 61. The drug placement frame 61 and the eye mask frame 10 are provided with a buckle component 70 and a drug dispensing port 80.

[0021] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 Preferably, the buckle assembly 70 includes a buckle 71 annularly disposed on the outside of the drug-feeding frame, and a groove 72 recessed from the inner sidewall to the outer side of the eye mask frame 10. Further, the buckle 71 is a T-shaped buckle 71, and the groove 72 is a T-shaped groove 72 adapted to the T-shaped buckle 71. The design of the T-shaped buckle 71 and the T-shaped groove 72 ensures a stable connection between the drug-feeding assembly 60 and the eye mask frame 10, preventing it from falling off or shifting during use. It also makes the assembly and disassembly process simpler and faster, allowing users or medical personnel to easily complete the process without complicated operations. It should be noted that in this application, four buckles 71 and four grooves are provided.

[0022] See Figure 2Furthermore, each of the T-shaped buckles 71 and T-shaped grooves 72 is provided with an identification mark 73. When the medication placement component 60 is engaged with the eye mask frame 10, the identification mark 73 corresponds to the medication placement frame 61 and the medication inlet 80 on the eye mask frame 10. It should be noted that in this application, the medication inlet 80 is recessed from the outer side of the eye mask frame 10 to the inner side, and the medication placement frame 61 is also recessed from the outer side to the inner side.

[0023] See Figure 4 Furthermore, the medication inlet 80 is cylindrical. Both the medication placement frame 61 and the goggles frame 10 have a soft silicone one-way cap 81 on their cylindrical medication inlets 80. The protruding end of the soft silicone one-way cap 81 on the goggles frame 10 faces outwards, while the protruding end of the soft silicone one-way cap 81 on the medication placement frame 61 faces inwards. Furthermore, the soft silicone one-way cap 81 has a cross-shaped slit opening. The soft silicone one-way cap 81 not only maintains the airtightness of the medication inlet 80, preventing medication spillage or external contamination, but also, through its elasticity, allows the user to easily open it when medication needs to be added and automatically close it when not needed, ensuring the convenience and safety of the medication application process. Specifically, the protruding end of the soft silicone one-way cap 81 of the goggle frame 10 faces outwards to prevent external contaminants from entering through the medication inlet 80. Since the goggle may come into contact with various external environmental contaminants such as dust and bacteria during use, having the protruding end of the soft silicone one-way cap 81 facing outwards effectively blocks these contaminants from entering the goggle through the medication inlet 80, thus protecting the purity of the medication and the user's eye health. Secondly, the protruding end of the soft silicone one-way cap 81 of the medication placement frame 61 faces inwards. When medication overflows, the liquid surrounds the soft silicone one-way cap 81, creating positive pressure that closes the cross-shaped slit opening on the soft silicone one-way cap 81, preventing further overflow. It should be noted that when adding medication through the medication inlet 80, the inlet 80 can be disinfected with alcohol before inserting a syringe to slowly inject the medication.

[0024] Preferably, the elastic band 20 is provided with fastening components at both ends for adjusting the tightness of the elastic band 20. The fastening components can be Velcro or D-rings. This allows the eye mask to be personalized according to the head size and wearing needs of different patients, thereby ensuring optimal wearing comfort and stability.

[0025] Preferably, the openings on both sides of the goggle frame 10 of this application are connected, that is, they spread outward along the axis of the goggle frame 10, and are thus configured as through holes penetrating the middle of the goggle frame 10. The two ends of the through holes are the openings, and a support baffle is provided at the through hole in the middle of the goggle frame 10. The middle of the support baffle is configured as a through circular hole. When the protective cover 40 is fastened to the opening, the support baffle can act as abutting one end of the protective cover 40. At the same time, when the medication assembly 60 is installed, the support baffle acts as a stable support point, abutting one end of the medication assembly 60, ensuring that the assembly is accurately installed and aligned with the medication port 80, preventing the medication assembly 60 from falling off or shifting, and ensuring the continuous and effective release of the medication. At the same time, the through circular hole also serves to push the medication assembly 60 out from the protective cover 40 side using a sterilized tool.

[0026] Preferably, a rubber ring is provided inside the opening of the goggle frame 10 on one side of the protective cover 40, and the inner diameter of the rubber ring is the same as the outer diameter of the protective cover 40. The rubber ring ensures that the protective cover 40 can tightly seal the opening when it is fastened to the opening of the goggle frame 10.

[0027] Preferably, the soft skin-adhesive layer 50 is a soft rubber gasket. The absorbent layer 62 can be made of polymer, porous ceramic, activated carbon fiber, or sponge. The drug-absorbing pad layer 63 can be made of medical-grade non-woven fabric, sponge, or hydrogel. The drug-absorbing pad layer 63 has good permeability, allowing the drug to penetrate from the absorbent layer 62 to the soft gauze layer 64, thereby enabling the eyeglasses to absorb the drug. The soft gauze layer 64 can be made of pure cotton gauze, silk, or polyester. The soft gauze layer 64 is not only soft and comfortable but also has good breathability and antibacterial properties, effectively ensuring comfortable and safe eye care when it comes into contact with the eye. Preferably, a baffle is provided on the side of the absorbent layer 62 of the drug-absorbing component 60 away from the drug-absorbing pad layer 63 to prevent excessive leakage of the drug from that side.

[0028] This utility model provides an eye mask for pregnant patients with hyperthyroidism and exophthalmos, comprising two identical eye mask frames 10. When the two eye mask frames 10 are connected, a triangular connecting strap 30 is provided on the opposite side. The triangular connecting strap 30 is equipped with Velcro 31 and Velcro 32, so that the eye mask can flexibly adapt to the facial contours (interocular distance) and the degree of eye protrusion of different patients. The connection length of the connecting strap 30 can be adjusted to ensure optimal wearing comfort and fit, effectively avoiding the discomfort caused by the fixed size of traditional eye masks. At the same time, the triangular connecting strap 30 forms a notch at the bottom after connection, which can be aligned with the bridge of the user's nose, making the eye mask fit more closely. Secondly, the eye mask frame 10 features a detachable drug-filled assembly 60, comprising an absorbent layer 62, a drug-absorbing padding layer 63, and a soft gauze layer 64. This not only facilitates the replacement and installation of the drug-filled assembly 60 but also, through the synergistic effect of its multi-layered structure, promotes uniform distribution and efficient absorption of the medication, directly targeting eye symptoms and significantly improving treatment efficacy. Furthermore, different thicknesses of the drug-filled assembly 60 can be installed to better suit patients with varying degrees of eye protrusion, enhancing wearing comfort. In addition, the openings on both sides of the eye mask frame 10 are respectively equipped with protective covers 40 and soft skin-contact layers 50. The protective covers 40 effectively prevent external contamination, maintaining internal cleanliness while allowing for ventilation of the eyes. The soft skin-contact layers 50 provide additional comfort and skin protection, further enhancing the patient's user experience. Meanwhile, the medication placement frame 61 and the eye mask frame 10 are also equipped with a buckle assembly 70 and a medication dispensing port 80, which simplifies the assembly, disassembly, and medication addition process of the medication placement frame 61, allowing patients or medical staff to easily manage the use and maintenance of the eye mask. Therefore, the eye mask for pregnant patients with hyperthyroidism and Graves' ophthalmopathy provided by this utility model significantly improves the wearing comfort of patients and also improves the efficiency and effectiveness of drug treatment, providing a safe, effective, and comfortable eye care mask for pregnant patients with hyperthyroidism and Graves' ophthalmopathy.
