Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for the symptomatic treatment of the eye and orbit areas comprising a frame carrying a pair of receptacles for liquid. A face of each receptacle is contoured to fit a different eye of the user, the frame being adjustable to enable the receptacles intimately to engage over the orbits and eyes of the user. The apparatus is prepared for use by filling the receptacles with a freezable fluid and subjecting the same to freezing temperatures to cause the fluid to solidify. In use, the frame is adjusted so that the receptacles are simultaneously positioned over the eyes of the wearer.
