Windshield wiper assembly having electric heating elements

A frame assembly for accurate placement of eyedrops. The assembly includes opaque eye plates located to be in front of the wearers eyes. Each eye plate defines a liquid aperture and an optical aperture above the liquid aperture. The assembly also includes two funnels, each having an aperture aligned with one of the liquid apertures.

Eyedrop applicator

A frame assembly for applying makeup to presbyopic eyes. The assembly includes a single lens that rotates between a position in optical registry with the wearer's left eye and another position position in optical registry with the wearer's right eye.

Eyeglass frame for swapping a lens between eyes

A surgical needle holder for facilitating safe and efficient surgery. The surgical needle holder has a plurality of grooves to secure a surgical needle at a selected position within the holder.

A fixation stent and a method for using the stent to repair canalicular lacerations and to block fluid flow through a canalicular canal are provided The stent includes a flexible tube having a proximal end, a distal end, an inflatable portion in fluid communication with the distal end, and a plug for sealing and anchoring the proximal end within a body canal. In ophthalmic applications, the distal end of the stent is inserted into a punctum of an eyelid and is then urged through the associated canaliculus towards a lacrimal sac at the end of the canaliculus Once inside the lacrimal sac, the balloon is inflated to a diameter greater than the diameter of the canalicular canal, thereby anchoring and sealing the distal end of the stent within the lacrimal sac. A plug is secured within the proximal end of the stent subsequent to the inflation of the balloon, thereby serving to seal the proximal end of the stent The plug includes a portion with a diameter greater than the diameter of the punctum that rests on the margin of the eyelid, thereby anchoring the proximal end of the stent at the margin of the eyelid Although the stent is particularly suited to ophthalmological applications, it can be used in any narrow body canal.

An inventive method for preventing ultraviolet radiation exposure to the outer tissues of mammalian eyes is disclosed. In particular, the composition containing about 0.3%-0.4% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose in the form of either an eyedrop solution or an ointment is applied to the eyes prior to exposure to UV radiation.
