FOMENTATION DEVICE FOR ONE EYE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems of the conventional eyelid fomentation devices using red light having wavelengths within a wide range but not using red light having a specific wavelength with which the red light infiltrates into deep tissues of the skin, and having been commercialized mainly for both eyes and not commercialized for one eye.SOLUTION: A red LED using a wavelength of 740 nm close to 750 nm regarded as a wavelength implementing a maximum infiltrating effect into the skin is used for an eyelid fomentation device. The fomentation device for one eye is capable of healing eye strain and the like by increasing a blood flow in an eyelid and enforcing natural healing power. Furthermore, the fomentation device for one eye requires only a minute as a treatment time and is made to be portable one using a battery as a power source, making it possible to use the fomentation device for one eye easily and anywhere such as at home, workplaces, etc.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 従来の眼瞼用あんぽう器に使用される赤色光の波長の範囲が広く、皮膚の深部組織まで浸透する特定の波長が選択されていなかった。また、眼瞼用のあんぽう器は両眼用が中心で、片眼用のあんぽう器は商品化されていなかった。【解決手段】 眼瞼用あんぽう器に、最も皮膚に浸透力のある波長とされる７５０ｎｍに近い７４０ｎｍの赤色ＬＥＤを使用している。また、眼瞼の血流を増加させて自然治癒力を高めることで、疲れ目などを解消させることができる。さらに、治療時間が１分で電池を電源とする携帯用にすることで、手軽に家庭や職場など、どこででも使用できる片眼用あんぽう器とすることができる。【選択図】図１
