  • Publication number: 20100292642
    Abstract: A guide for use in medical procedures involving the eye comprises a shield for protecting portions of a patient's eye, as well as guide apertures through which an instrument, such as a needle can be inserted. The guide is positioned on the patient's eye, and a visible alignment member, such as a central opening will align the guide relative to the cornea, exposed through this opening. The guide apertures would thus be positioned so that penetration of the eye would occur at a site where no damage to the eye, and especially to the lens, could not occur. The guide apertures extend through cylindrical members that will position a syringe and insure proper entry of the needle into the patient's eye.

  • Patent number: 7575320
    Abstract: A double sided adhesive eye patch, bearing a new or old outdated corrective lens, is placed over the eye of the participant on the singles scene such as in nightclubs or while bathing on beaches, and the wearer can thus see clearly, or fairly clearly if an outdated old corrective lens was used. During normal everyday activities, such a patch would have a ridiculous appearance, but when used in socializing environments they become like small carnival masks and attract attention, which is desired for many folks in these environments. Messages can be affixed that can act as conversation pieces to help people meet each other. If desired, two patches can cover both eyes to form a pair of “crazy” spectacles. Unlike conventional eyewear with temples or straps, they are harder to dislodge by accident from the face of the wearer during swimming and dancing, and are cheap and easily replaceable.
