Publication number: 20230248994Abstract: In various implementations, a device for stimulating the lacrimal gland and optionally the meibomian gland of an eye of a user by emitting light on the retina may include a control unit and an optical system connected to the control unit and arranged in the viewing direction of the user. The optical system may include at least one light source and may be configured for providing light stimulation pulses to an eye of the user by the at least one light source. Implementations of the device may also include a power supply unit for supplying power to the control unit and/or optical system. The light stimulation pulses activate the pupillary light reflex and one or more reflexes selected from blink reflex, corneal reflex, menace reflex, and lacrimal reflex. When the device is in operation mode a light intensity gradient between the light pulses emitted by the at least one light source and the light around the eye may be maintained at 2 or more lumens.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventor: Ronen Shavit

Publication number: 20220226152Abstract: A dermal conditioning device is for creating at least one pressure point on at least an external surface of an eyelid. The device includes at least one skin tissue lesion generator, at least one controller, a power supply and a housing, the controller coupled to the skin tissue lesion generator. A power supply couples to the skin tissue lesion generator and the controller and the housing encasing the skin tissue lesion generator and the controller. The controller controls the skin tissue lesion generator to generate at least one signal and to apply the signal to stress the external surface of an outer layer of the eyelid, the stress causing a formation of the pressure point on the eyelid without tissue coagulation, thereby activating at least one of a corneal reflex, a menace reflex, and a lacrimation reflex of the eyelid by activating at least one nociceptor on the eyelid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2020Publication date: July 21, 2022Applicant: NOVOXEL LTD.Inventor: Ronen SHAVIT
