Abstract
An ocular positioning system for use with a magnetic treatment apparatus for treating an eye of a subject is provided, where the magnetic treatment apparatus includes a magnetic coil for generating a magnetic field and an electric field. The ocular positioning system includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the magnetic coil is disposed in the housing near the proximal end. A positioning member is at least partially attached to the housing proximal end, the positioning member including a base and an eyecup coupled thereon, where the eyecup is configured to receive an orbital region of the subject. At least one sensor is connected to the housing and in electrical communication with the magnetic coil, wherein when the at least one sensor detects the positioning member then the magnetic coil is capable of being activated for treatment.
