No. 29/130,173 filed on Sep. 27, 2000 and entitled “EYESHIELDS” is also hereby incorporated by reference.
- The invention relates to the field of medical eyeshields. More particularly, the invention relates to the field of designing and manufacturing medical eyeshields with optically correct and optically clear lenses.
- Physicians perform various eye surgeries daily, each requiring specific types of care. Many times, after one of these surgeries, as part of the rehabilitation process, the patient is required to shield the eye from the environment as to not hinder the healing process. Additionally, many of these patients are able to maintain normal vision while the eye heals. Such operations include cataract surgery and the ever increasingly popular vision correction surgeries. Because a patient of one of these surgeries regains normal vision immediately or shortly after the operation is completed, an optically clear and correct eyeshield is needed so that the patient may perform everyday !asks while the eye heals. It is also important that the eye receives adequate air circulation during the healing process.
- Existing eyeshields do not provide the patient with all of the necessary aforementioned aspects. Prior eyeshield designs lack a functional eyeshield that also allows for comfort and accurate vision. In other words, prior designs do embody an eyeshield that allows for proper air circulation for optimal healing capabilities combined with a comfortable fit and optically correct vision.
- Absent in the prior art is a design encompassing all of the aspects necessary to effectively and efficiently heal the eye while allowing the patient normal vision through an optically correct lens. A design such as this is needed to allow a patient to quickly heal from a surgery without losing the ability to perform everyday functions.
- The present invention is an apparatus for shielding a human eye while allowing air to circulate to the eye. The present invention is an eyeshield which includes an optically correct viewing area and a plurality of vents. The eyeshield can be held in place with tape, or adhesive or can include an adjustable strap for holding the eyeshield and the optically correct viewing area in place in front of the user's eye. The eyeshield of the present invention includes one surface that faces the eye and one surface that faces away from the eye.
- The eyeshield in the present invention is optically clear as well as optically correct in that it does not distort the user's vision. This is achieved by two different methods. The preferred method utilizes a polished mold to achieve an optically correct surface while another method to achieve an optically correct eyeshield utilized by the present invention is to die cut the lens from an optically correct material.
- The present invention may be fashioned to protect one or both eyes. In both cases, the plurality of vents are actually a plurality of apertures. The preferred embodiment includes apertures in the form of slots while an alternate embodiment includes apertures in the form of holes. In either case, the plurality of vents do not distort the patient's vision.

- FIG. 17 illustrates a front perspective view of an optically correct eyeshield for two eyes in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- FIGS.1-5 depict the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the top view in FIG. 1, the
eyeshield 10 is fashioned to cover one of the user's eyes, as well as the area around the eye. The bottom view is a mirror image of the top view. A plurality ofvents 14 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention are slots which are arranged in a pattern so that the opticallycorrect lens 12 is not interrupted in the viewing area in front of the eye, and therefore, do not distort the user's vision. The vents allow fresh air to impinge on the users eye, while keeping fingers, other objects and most dust away from the eye. - Referring to the front elevation view of the preferred embodiment in FIG. 3, the pattern of the plurality of
vents 14 is displayed in a clearer fashion. It will be apparent to those of or ordinary skill in the art that other patterns are possible for thevents 14. However, to maintain the shield as optically correct it is desired that thevents 14 not be positioned in the viewing area of theeyeshield 10. - Referring again to the preferred embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, the set of
openings 16 allow thestrap 18 to be coupled with theeyeshield 10. Thestrap 18 is adjustable in that it is made of an elastic material. Alternative embodiments of thestrap 18 can utilize adjusting devices coupled with anelastic strap 18, or a combination thereof. Alternatively, theeyeshield 10 can be affixed to the user's face over their eye using adhesive tape or another adhesive. In such a circumstance, theopenings 16 and thestrap 18 need not be present. - The slope of the
eyeshield 10 is adopted to make contact along its periphery with the average user's face. This contact serves to prevent dust and other irritants from access to the interior of theeyeshield 10 along its periphery and hence the eye. Theeyeshield 10 is substantially circular. Theeyeshield 10 includes anose bridge protrusion 100. Thenose bridge protrusion 100 is adopted to ride on and above the user's nose such that the increase in dimension of theeyeshield 10 toward its substantially circular region maintains close proximity to the typical user's nose and eyebrow. Theeyeshield 10 and thenose bridge protrusion 100 can be manufactured in several sizes to accomodate an even wider range of users. - According to the preferred embodiment depicted in FIGS.1-5, the
eyeshield 10 is produced from a mold. To achieve the opticallycorrect lens 12 from the mold, the mold is preferably polished. - FIGS.6-10 depict a first alternative embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the
eyeshield 20 is again fashioned to cover one of the patient's eyes as well as the area around the eye. However, the plurality ofvents 24 in this case are holes. Similar to the slots of the preferred embodiment, the holes are arranged in a pattern so that the opticallycorrect lens 22 is not interrupted in the viewing area in front of the eye, and therefore, is incapable of distorting the user's vision. Referring to the front elevation view of the first alternative embodiment in FIG. 8, the pattern of the plurality ofvents 24 is displayed in a clearer fashion. Also in the first alternative embodiment depicted in FIG. 6, the set ofopenings 26 allows thestrap 28 to be coupled with theeyeshield 20. Thestrap 28 is also adjustable in the first alternative embodiment in that it is made of an elastic material. Alternative embodiments of thestrap 28 can utilize adjusting devices coupled with anelastic strap 28, or a combination thereof. - Again, similar to the preferred embodiment depicted in FIGS.1-5, the
eyeshield 20 depicted in FIGS. 6-10 is produced from a mold. In order to achieve the opticallycorrect lens 22 from the mold, the mold must be polished. - FIGS.11-17 depict a second alternative embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 11, the optically
correct lens 32 of theeyeshield 30 in this case is fashioned to provide protection for both eyes as well as the area of the face surrounding the eyes. In embodiments such as the second alternative embodiment in FIG. 11, the opticallycorrect lens 32 is die-cut from an optically correct material. - A
cushioning structure 40 outlines the perimeter of the opticallycorrect lens 32 on the surface facing the eye. In this second alternative embodiment, the plurality ofvents 34 are formed by the spaces formed in thecushioning structure 40. Other embodiments will include acushioning structure 40 fashioned as one continuous piece outlining the perimeter of the opticallycorrect lens 32. In such an embodiment, a plurality of vents are formed by holes in thecushioning structure 40. - Again referring to the second alternative embodiment in FIG. 11, the set of
openings 36 allow thestrap 38 to be coupled with theeyeshield 30. Thestrap 38 is also adjustable in this second alternative embodiment in that it is made of an elastic material. Alternative embodiments of thestrap 38 can utilize adjusting devices coupled with thestrap 28, or a combination thereof. - The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiments incorporating details to facilitate the understanding of the principles of construction and operation of the invention.
