Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an electronic treatment device for ophthalmology.

Recently, various small electronic therapeutic devices have become popular, but they are mainly aimed at treating muscle pain and neuralgia in the shoulders, arms, legs, etc.; There was no suitable material for ion introduction.

The present invention provides an electronic treatment device for ophthalmology, which is not applicable to conventional electronic treatment devices.

That is, in the present invention, a roll electrode for the eyelid covered with water-retaining sponge and an electrode for the temple are respectively arranged via supports on a main body that houses a low-frequency oscillation circuit and its power supply, and these electrodes are This device is characterized by the structure of an ophthalmic electronic treatment device that applies a low-frequency voltage generated by a low-frequency oscillation circuit to the eye, stimulating the eye muscles and further damaging the eye tissue. The purpose is to perform iontophoresis for eye drops.

Next, the present invention will be explained according to the illustrated embodiment. 1 is a main body that houses a low frequency oscillation circuit and its power source, and is preferably shaped like a cylinder and can be held in the hand. . The low-frequency oscillation circuit housed in the main body 1 may be a low-frequency voltage having only positive or negative current components, an alternating voltage, or a biphasic action potential waveform, which has been conventionally used in this type of electronic therapy device. It is possible to employ various known low frequency oscillation circuits capable of generating a low frequency voltage such as a low frequency voltage having a DC voltage, an alternating voltage, or a low frequency voltage having a biphasic action potential waveform superimposed on a DC voltage. can. Reference numeral 2 denotes a roll electrode for eyelids, which is rotatably mounted on a shaft 3 supported by the main body 1. 4 is a water-retaining sponge that covers the outside of the eyelid roll electrode 2, and is usually made of synthetic or natural foaming resin, and is impregnated with water during electronic therapy. Reference numeral 5 denotes a temple electrode, which is attached to a support column 6 supported by the main body 1, and is formed into a spherical or plate shape as shown. Reference numeral 7 is a water-retaining sponge that covers the outside of the temple electrode 5, and is similar to the water-retaining sponge 4 described above. A low frequency voltage generated by a low frequency oscillation circuit built into the main body 1 is applied to these eyelid roll electrodes 2 and temple electrodes 5. The roll electrodes 2 for the eyelids and the electrodes 5 for the temples are arranged so as to face the eyelids and temples of the patient being treated, respectively, and their supports 3 and 6 are of a rod type or the like. It is preferable to make it expandable and retractable so that the position where the electrode is supported can be adjusted. Further, the support column 6 of the temple electrode 5 may be made of an elastic body. Furthermore, the support 3 and the support 6 may be configured as an integral support, and this may be branched into two forks, and the respective branches may be used as the support 3 and the support 6.

In addition, in the present invention, when applying the output of the low frequency oscillation circuit built into the main body 1 to the eyelid roll electrode 2 and the temple electrode 5, a power switch may be provided in a part of the main body 1, or a If a switching circuit that utilizes the switching action of an active element is inserted into the power supply circuit of a frequency oscillation circuit, a low frequency voltage will be applied between both electrodes 2 and 5 only when both electrodes 2 and 5 come into contact with the skin. As a result,
There is no need to worry about battery consumption due to forgetting to turn off the switch.

The ophthalmic electronic treatment device of the present invention impregnates the water-retaining sponge 4 of the eyelid roll electrode 2 and the water-retaining sponge 7 of the temple electrode 5 with water, and then generates a low-frequency oscillation circuit in the main body 1. When a low frequency voltage is applied to the eyelid roll electrode 2 and the temple electrode 5, and the temple electrode 5 is applied to the temple, and the eyelid roll electrode 2 is applied to the eyelid, the low frequency voltage is applied to the temple and the eyelid. This makes it possible to stimulate the eye muscles from the temple and to effectively introduce ions into the eye tissue from the eye drops instilled into the eye. In particular, the use of a low-frequency voltage in which a biphasic action potential waveform is superimposed on a DC voltage is effective for iontophoresis, helping to recover eye muscle fatigue, promoting metabolism in the affected area through iontophoresis treatment of the eye or its surrounding tissues, and Furthermore, it has practical benefits that can be effectively used in the treatment of color blindness and in facial cosmetics.
