Title: Richard Cornelius and the Pressurized Goggle for Intraocular Pressure Modification.

Introduction

Richard Cornelius is an inventor associated with Wayzata, Minnesota, United States. His patent work addresses ways to modify pressure within the eye, with potential applications in treating or preventing several pressure-related ocular conditions.

Latest Patents

Cornelius is credited with 1 patent: “Pressurized Goggle for Intraocular Pressure Modification.” The patent describes an assembly that uses a goggle with one or more cavities, a connected pump, and a control mechanism. When worn, the goggle creates a pressurized space around the eye or eyes. The control mechanism maintains a target pressure or pressure range in that space, which can drive a desired change in intraocular pressure.

The disclosed approach may be used in connection with glaucoma, elevated intraocular pressure, optic disc edema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, zero-gravity-induced papilledema, and other pressure-related optic conditions.

Career Highlights

The patent highlights Cornelius’s contribution to an approach that applies controlled external pressure around the eyes to influence intraocular pressure. The disclosed assembly combines a wearable goggle, a pump, and pressure control.

Collaborations

The provided information identifies Vance Michael Thompson and John Berdahl as Cornelius’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Richard Cornelius’s patent describes a controlled-pressure goggle concept intended to modify intraocular pressure and support potential applications in managing ocular conditions.
