Eye Hydration Device Adapted for Employment With CPAP

摘要

An device for maintaining a moisture cavity surrounding the eye of a user is provided which employs a flexible body configured for positioning on the face of the user with a cavity defined by a curved sidewall positioned in front of each eye of the user. The cavity prevents communication of the exterior atmosphere with the air within the cavity and thereby maintains an environment in each cavity suitable to maintain natural eye moisture. The body is configurable to engage to the face of the user concurrent with the engagement of a CPAP device and may be adapted for engagement as part of the CPAP device. Curved sidewalls forming each cavity are optically correct and transparent to maintain the vision of the user during use.

主权项

1. An apparatus for maintaining a moisture cavity surrounding the eye of a user, comprising:
a body having a perimeter edge, said body having a first surface within said perimeter edge, said body having a second surface opposite said first surface; a pair of apertures communicating through said body; a pair of curved sidewalls engaged, each engaged at a base edge to said body in respective aligned positions with one each of said apertures; said body positionable to an as-used position with said first surface in contact with a face of said user and one each of said pair of apertures surrounding one respective eye of a pair of eyes of a user; each said curved sidewall forming a respective said moisture cavity surrounding each eye of said user with said body positioned to said as-used position; and said moisture cavities maintaining an interior air supply communicating with said eyes of said user which is isolated from the atmosphere outside said moisture cavity, whereby moisture in each respective eye is prevented from evaporating into said atmosphere outside each respective cavity.
