Hydrogen-Supply Goggles for Local Eye-Periphery Absorption
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for hydrogen intake, such as oral administration and gas inhalation, do not effectively deliver high-concentration hydrogen to specific regions of the body for optimal physiological effects, particularly affecting orbicularis oculi blood flow, brain functions, and oxytocin secretion.
Innovation Solution
A method involving percutaneous absorption of high-concentration hydrogen from the periphery of the eye, specifically the lower eyelid part, and goggles designed to facilitate this absorption by releasing hydrogen through adjustable openings near the lower eyelid, ensuring efficient delivery and absorption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If hydrogen is supplied to the eyeball through instillation of hydrogen-containing solution, then hydrogen concentration in the eyeball is improved, but the method is complex and requires moisturizing the eyeball surface first
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the essential function of hydrogen delivery from the complex instillation process and simplifies it to direct gas supply. Instead of using hydrogen-containing solutions that require moisturizing the eyeball surface, the invention directly supplies hydrogen gas to the periphery of the eyeball, eliminating unnecessary steps while maintaining effective hydrogen delivery to the target tissue.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a gas supply apparatus as an intermediary device that directly delivers hydrogen gas to the periphery of the eyeball. This intermediary system replaces the complex solution-based instillation method with a simpler gas-phase delivery system, making the process more straightforward while achieving the same physiological effect of increasing hydrogen concentration in the eyeball region.
2Quantity of substance
If hydrogen is supplied systemically through oral administration or gas inhalation, then hydrogen intake is achieved, but delivery to specific regions such as the eye is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local quality by directing hydrogen gas supply specifically to the periphery of the eyeball rather than systemic administration. The gas supply apparatus is positioned to deliver hydrogen locally to the target region, creating a high concentration of hydrogen precisely where it is needed. This localized delivery method achieves both sufficient hydrogen intake and precise regional targeting, overcoming the limitation of systemic methods that disperse hydrogen throughout the body.
3Quantity of substance
If high-concentration hydrogen gas is supplied directly to the periphery of the eye, then percutaneous absorption is enhanced, but the risk of hydrogen leakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses a goggles-like structure with flexible sealing elements that conform to the contours of the face and eye region. This flexible shell creates a sealed environment around the periphery of the eyeball, containing the high-concentration hydrogen gas and preventing leakage while allowing percutaneous absorption through the skin. The flexible sealing structure adapts to individual anatomical variations, ensuring effective sealing without compromising comfort or absorption efficiency.

AI summary
Provided is a method for promoting orbicularis oculi blood flow by causing percutaneous absorption of hydrogen from a periphery of an eye, a method for promoting other physiological effects, and an optimal configuration of goggles for supplying hydrogen carrying out these methods. Further, the goggles provided hereunder include a goggle body for integrally covering and sealing a periphery of both eyes including at least a lower eyelid part of a user, a temple member coupled with both side parts of the goggle body, to be hooked on both ears of the user, and a hydrogen releasing part arranged at positions near both lower eyelid parts of the user inside the goggle body, having a pair of hydrogen releasing openings directed to each of the both lower eyelid parts, which are fluidly coupled with a discharging side end part of a tubular tube member connected to an external hydrogen generating apparatus.
