Abstract: Architectures and techniques for treating conditions of the eye, such as meibomian gland disease, utilize sources of treatment energy, such as electromagnetic energy emitting devices, to implement manipulations on tissue surrounding the orbit. According to these devices and methods, the sources of treatment energy are activated to direct energy onto parts of the eye, such as the meibomian gland, to treat meibomian gland disease. The treatments can affect at least one property of the eye and allow the liquifactions to flow more freely.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for ablating a lens of an eye. An access incision is made through outer eye tissue to access the lens. A laser tool is inserted through the access incision. Electromagnetic energy is focused using the inserted laser tool to ablate a portion of the lens, where said ablation breaks the lens into a plurality of pieces for removal from the eye.

Abstract: A therapeutic device includes a garment configured to be worn on a user's body over a treatment area. The therapeutic device includes a plurality of therapeutic electromagnetic (EM) energy emitting devices, fixed to the garment at locations within the garment for irradiating the treatment area with EM energy when the garment is worn over the treatment area. A power supply is fixed to and within the garment. The power supply stores electrical charge and outputs electrical supply current from the stored electrical charge. A flexible graphite material is located within the garment and conducts the electrical supply current to the EM energy emitting devices to activate the energy emitting devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing intraocular pressure in an eye. A perpendicular incision is made through a conjunctiva of the eye to access a trabecular meshwork of the eye. Electromagnetic energy is focused through the perpendicular incision to ablate a portion of the trabecular network, where said ablation creates a channel for outflow flow of fluid through a sclera venous sinus to reduce pressure within the eye.

Abstract: A portable support for cable reels comprising a rectangular base, at least one pair of vertical support elements, and at least one rod or shaft resting on the pairs of vertical support elements for supporting the cable reels. The horizontal base comprises four hollow channel members permanently connected at their ends and having apertures at the corners of the base for providing access to the interior of the hollow channels. Two opposed sides of the base have anchoring slots along an upper face by which the vertical support elements are anchored into the base. The tops of the vertical support elements also have slots in which the horizontal shaft rests. The base is provided with a handle attached to one of the sides adjacent to the upper face and a number of studs and matching holes for allowing a plurality of units to be stacked together.
