FIELD OF THE INVENTION

One or more embodiments of the invention generally relate to removing debris through suction. More particularly, the invention relates to removing debris from an organ with a cup shaped suction device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following background information may present examples of specific aspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts, or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.

The following is an example of a specific aspect in the prior art that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon. By way of educational background, another aspect of the prior art generally useful to be aware of is that eye are the organs of vision. Eyes detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons.

Often, the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment, regulates its intensity through a diaphragm, focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image, converts this image into a set of electrical signals, and transmits these signals to the brain through complex neural pathways that connect the eye via the optic nerve to the visual cortex and other areas of the brain.

Typically, a vacuum is a space that is devoid of matter, including air pressure. The vacuum is operable to create a sucking pressure through the use of a diaphragm that expands to reduce the pressure within. The reduced pressure creates a partial vacuum, which is filled by air pushed in by atmospheric pressure. This forms a suction in a first direction.

Debris can include any small object that floats in the air. The debris can often get trapped inside an organ, such as the eye. The debris is generally large enough to feel, but difficult to dislodge with fingers or larger instruments.

In view of the foregoing, it is clear that these traditional techniques are not perfect and leave room for more optimal approaches.
