  • Eye protection methods and apparatus
    Patent number: 7008055
    Abstract: An eye protection apparatus includes a selectively darkenable element, such as a liquid crystal panel, and a controller that causes transmission of a darken signal that causes the selectively darkenable element to darken in conjunction with an emission of light, such as intense diffuse light that is used in some medical procedures. Protection against both laser light and diffuse light may be provided in the same eye protection apparatus. The darken signal may be transmitted prior to the emission of the diffuse light, and cause the selectively darkenable element to achieve a darkened state prior to emission of the diffuse light.

  • Disposable eye patch and method of manufacturing a disposable eye patch
    Patent number: 6320094
    Abstract: A disposable eye patch includes a first sheet member, a second sheet member smaller than the first sheet member, and an adhesive layer applied to one side of the first sheet member. One portion of the adhesive layer bonds the first and second sheet members together, and another portion of the adhesive layer adheres to the tissue surrounding an eye when the eye patch is applied to a patient. A release layer may be provided to cover the exposed portion of the adhesive layer, and may be peeled off prior to the use of the eye patch. The release layer and a plurality of eye patches may be provided in the form of a dispenser roll assembly. In a method of manufacturing the disposable eye patch, the first and second sheet members may both be formed from a sheet material having an adhesive layer, and then the first and second sheet members may be adhered together with the adhesive layer on one of the sheet members contacting the adhesive layer on the other one of the sheet members.
