Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2022150308A1] A system for treating clogged glands of the eye includes a heated eye mask, an electrical cord, and a controller. The heated eye mask includes an outer layer of surface material, an inner layer of surface material, and a graphene heating element. The graphene heating element is disposed between the outer and inner layers of surface material in a therapeutic region of the heated eye mask. The therapeutic region of the heated eye mask extends along the Meibomian glands of the eye. The graphene heating element is encapsulated by an electrically insulating cover. A thermally conductive material evenly distributes heat across the therapeutic region of the heated eye mask. The electrical cord provides power to the heated eye mask. The controller is provided on the electrical cord for controlling the heated eye mask to heat to one of at least four pre-set temperature levels.
