Remedy for dry eye syndrome

This invention describes a method to relieve dry eyes by creating a humid environment around the eye. It involves placing a flexible, waterproof barrier around the eye, holding it close to the face, and then positioning a water-soaked pad between the barrier and the eye to release moisture. An optional soft cushion can be used around the barrier's edge for a better seal.

Why it matters: Since 2006, advancements in flexible, hypoallergenic materials and precision manufacturing techniques could enable more comfortable and effective pliable barriers and seals. This could improve the user experience for devices worn on the face for therapeutic purposes.
