An apparatus and method for preventing ocular surface abnormalities. This
apparatus includes a frame containing at least one lens and at least one
seal. The frame, lens, and seal provide an area about the eyes of a user
that is at least partially enclosed from a surrounding environment when
worn. Humidity and temperature are increased in the area about the eyes
of the user to provide a microenvironment in the area about the eyes of
the user. The microenvironment is capable of reducing or preventing
ocular surface abnormalities, alleviating ocular discomfort, and
improving ocular health. The seal may be removable and may attach to
prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and so on. The seal may also contain
a filter, such as a HEPA filter.
