International Classification:

A61K 3844

US Classification:

424 944, 424 942, 424 9462, 424429, 424427, 424 7804

Abstract:

An Enzyme Orthokeratology method is provided for correcting refractive errors in the eye of a subject mammal. Accelerating reshaping of the cornea is accomplished by administering a corneal hardening amount of a corneal hardening agent to the eye of the subject. Reformation is accomplished under the influence of a rigid contact lens or a series of lenses having a concave curvature that will correct a refractive error. The cornea rapidly reshapes its convex curvature to the concave curvature of the contact lens, rendering the eye emmetropic. The cornea is permitted to âhardenâ to retain the new emmetropic shape. After âhardeningâ has occurred, the lens rendering the eye emmetropic is removed.

Reformation is accomplished under the influence of a rigid contact lens or a series of lenses having a concave curvature that will correct a refractive error. The cornea rapidly reshapes its convex curvature to the concave curvature of the contact lens, rendering the eye emmetropic. The cornea is permitted to “harden” to retain the new emmetropic shape. After “hardening” has occurred, the lens rendering the eye emmetropic is removed.

US Classification:

Abstract:

There is disclosed herein a method of obtaining certain information about the blood pressure of a given patient by means of a particular blood pressure technique, specifically by means of oscillometry, in which the pressurizable pressure transducing bladder located adjacent and cooperating with a particular artery of the patient, is used in combination with means for pressurizing the bladder in a controlled way in order to provide the desired information. The particular artery used is the patient's supraorbital artery which is readily accessible in a specific area just above the eyebrow of substantially all patients. There is also disclosed herein a blood pressure transducing bladder assembly which is specifically designed to easily access the supraorbital artery of substantially all patients using the eyebrow and nose of each patient as a frame of reference.
