Benefits of technology

The invention is a small and easy-to-use thermal therapeutic apparatus for improving vision. It can help alleviate and cure common eye symptoms, and at a low cost. The apparatus fits well to the shape of the eyes, making it more effective. The benefits of the invention include improved quality of life and reduced medical expenses for insurers.

Problems solved by technology

If the radius of curvature is reduced to 2 mm or smaller, a distal end is pointed too much, and comfortable feeling of use and desirable therapeutic effect cannot be obtained, and if the radius of curvature exceeds 8 mm, the distal end of the therapeutic member cannot be brought into contact correctly with the affected area, and usage as the ophthalmic therapeutic apparatus cannot be adequately achieved.

Abstract

This disclosure provides an ophthalmic thermal therapeutic apparatus including: a handheld housing; and a thermal therapeutic apparatus provided on the housing, the thermal therapeutic apparatus including: a therapeutic member to be brought into contact with an affected area; an electrothermal conversion circuit including an electrothermal conversion element configured to generate temperature change in the therapeutic member; a temperature control apparatus configured to hold a temperature of the therapeutic member to be a desired value; a power switch; and a power source, wherein a surface of an extremity portion of the therapeutic member to be brought into contact with the affected area is formed of a convex curve having a minimum radius of curvature from 2 mm to 8 mm, preferably from 4 mm to 6 mm.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to heating thermal therapeutic apparatuses and heating / cooling thermal therapeutic apparatus for ophthalmic treatment (hereinafter, referred to as an ophthalmic thermal therapeutic apparatus).[0003]2. Description of the Background Art[0004]Heating thermal therapeutic apparatuses configured to provide treatment by warming up an affected area to promote blood circulation are widely known. Many of those, however, are of a bedclothing type or of a chair type configured to warm up the entire body, and ophthalmic therapeutic apparatuses configured to treat eye fatigue or the like have not been proposed thus far.[0005]Portable heating thermal therapeutic apparatuses and heating / cooling thermal therapeutic apparatuses configured to locally warm up or cool down an affected area in order to treat shoulder stiffness or muscle fatigue are also known and configurations disclosed in JP-A-5-208038, JP-A-2...
