▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - The wearable fabric device has stretchable conductive composite yarn materials includes carbon nano tube, graphene plate or graphene sheet, natural, spider or artificial silk, metal, metal nanowires or alloy, cotton or denim, and elastic formed of polymer or copolymer of polyamide, polyester, and/or polyolefin, nfrared emitter, infrared sensor, ultrasound transducer or emitter, micromotor or piezo-activator, microcomputer and Bluetooth module. The number of infrared emitters configured in juxtaposition with the upper and lower eyelid margins. USE - Wearable fabric device for juxtaposition with eyelids of wearer for managing deficiencies of meibomian gland dysfunction lipid production and delivery for applying thermal and mechanical energy to ocular adnexa. ADVANTAGE - The method replaces the need for relatively large, expensive, cumbersome and energy efficient systems with newer alternatives that are user-friendly, energy efficient with precise heating elements, making it relatively inexpensive may eliminate the need of a substantial aid from the medical practitioner to conduct the procedure and manage the meibomian gland dysfunction and other dry eye conditions will become evident in this disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for managing meibomian gland dysfunction. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a structural diagram of wearable fabrics on eyelids with a mesh-type alignment of nanofibres. Nanofibres (201) Internally placed battery (203) Upper rim (204) Detectors (206)
