Abstract: An ocular protection device and treatment methods are disclosed. The device has a corneal shield with an attached handle. The handle may be used to move the corneal shield to better protect the eye from various treatment modalities. The handle may also be used to place tension on the eyelid to counteract the forces imposed by a treatment handpiece. A procedure for treating the eye is disclosed where multiple passes with a treatment handpiece cause a gradual increase in the temperature of an eyelid up to a treatment temperature. Once the treatment temperature has been met, occlusions in the Meibomian glands of the eyelid may be expressed. The procedure may be repeated recursively until a desired level of expression has been achieved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to vascular clip made of biocompatible, non-metallic material that minimizes artifacts and obscuration of a diagnostic image developed using modalities such as CATSCAN, and MRI. The vascular clip is dimensionally comparable to metal clips, while maintaining sufficient clamping force to stop the flow of blood from an aneurysm, a subarachnoid hemorrhage or bleeding on the brain.
