Solution Overview

Problem

Current solutions for relieving asthenopia, such as eye drops and health products, are often ineffective due to busy lifestyles and product homogeneity, leading to inconsistent results and a lack of alternatives for individuals with mild symptoms.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising lutein ester microcapsule powder, wild cherry berry juice concentrate, black currant juice concentrate, sodium hyaluronate, vitamin C, taurine, and Hang white chrysanthemum, which work synergistically to remove free radicals, repair the retina, and maintain corneal shape, thereby alleviating asthenopia and improving eyesight.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If health products based on blueberry and lutein are used to relieve asthenopia, then some eye protection effect is achieved, but the product homogeneity phenomenon is serious and the improvement degree for people with different physique is inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect consistencyVSAvoidproduct homogeneity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selecting specific plant materials (wild cherry berry, black currant, Hang white chrysanthemum) with distinct functional characteristics tailored to different eye health needs. Each material contributes specific active components (anthocyanins, flavonoids, polysaccharides) that target different aspects of eye protection, allowing the composition to adapt to diverse physiological conditions while maintaining consistent quality through standardized extraction processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by combining multiple plant extracts with complementary properties into a synergistic formulation. The composition integrates wild cherry berry extract (rich in anthocyanins), black currant extract (high in polyphenols and vitamin C), and Hang white chrysanthemum extract (containing flavonoids and polysaccharides), creating a multi-component system that addresses various mechanisms of eye protection simultaneously, thereby improving both consistency and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If eye drops are used to treat serious eye symptoms, then symptom relief is achieved, but people with mild symptoms are reluctant to use them and have no other options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesymptom relief effectivenessVSAvoiduser acceptance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary solution in the form of an oral health food product that bridges the gap between dietary supplements and medicinal eye drops. This composition serves as a mediator that provides therapeutic benefits for asthenopia without the stigma or discomfort associated with eye drops, making it acceptable for both mild and serious symptoms while maintaining effectiveness through scientifically formulated active ingredients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by transitioning the delivery form from topical (eye drops) to oral ingestion (health food). This parameter change in administration route eliminates the psychological and physical barriers associated with eye drops while maintaining therapeutic efficacy through optimized concentrations of active components that can be systematically absorbed and delivered to eye tissues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If people increase rest time for eyes to relieve asthenopia, then eye recovery is improved, but busy lifestyles make it impossible to let eyes get enough rest

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeye recovery effectVSAvoidrest time availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by creating a product that enables the body's own eye recovery mechanisms without requiring external time investment. The composition contains active ingredients that are directly utilized by眼部 tissues to combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and promote repair processes, allowing the eyes to recover through metabolic processes that occur continuously without needing dedicated rest periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies continuity of useful action by providing a formulation that supports ongoing eye protection and recovery throughout the day. The active ingredients (anthocyanins, flavonoids, polysaccharides) work continuously to neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative damage, and maintain ocular surface health, replacing the need for periodic rest intervals with continuous biochemical protection that operates regardless of visual activity levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The composition effectively reduces asthenopia symptoms, improves vision, and has no toxic side effects, offering a safe and stable solution for eye health, as demonstrated by significant symptom improvement rates and increased duration of photopic vision in clinical trials.

Implementation Method 1

Lutein has physiological effects such as antioxidant, and can prevent visual loss caused by lesions in the macular area of the fundus

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAntioxidant: Oxidation

Implementation Method 2

Wild cherry berry fruit contains vitamins, folate, quinic acid, polyphenolic acids, tannin, catechins, hesperidin and anthocyanins, etc., as well as rich flavonoids, and phenolic compounds like anthocyanins, so that wild cherry berry has strong antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging effect

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectFree radical scavenging: Oxidation

Implementation Method 3

Black currant fruit is rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, vitamin C and other nutrients, and has effects of protecting eyesight and anti-oxidation

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAnti-oxidation: Oxidation

Implementation Method 4

Sodium hyaluronate plays an important role in maintaining corneal shape

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectHydration: Absorption (physical)

Implementation Method 5

Taurine has an effect of maintaining and regulating visual function

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMetabolic regulation:

Implementation Method 6

The flavonoids, polyphenols and terpenoids contained in Hang white chrysanthemum have anti-free radical and antioxidant activities, thus protecting the eyes and relieving asthenopia

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAnti-free radical: Oxidation
