An apparatus can include a left cover, sized and shaped to fit over a left eye of a patient to define a left cavity between the left cover and an anterior surface of the left eye and a right cover, sized and shaped to fit over a right eye of the patient to define a right cavity between the right cover and an anterior surface of the right eye. The apparatus can include a left pressure source to apply a left working fluid to the left cavity, the left pressure source capable of generating a left cavity pressure including a left negative gauge pressure and a right pressure source to apply a right working fluid to the right cavity, the right pressure source capable of generating a right cavity pressure including a right negative gauge pressure, where the right pressure source can be separate from the left pressure source. The left pressure source can be configured to generate a left cavity pressure independently of the right pressure source and the right pressure source can be configured to generate a right cavity pressure independently of the left pressure source.
A non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions configured to cause control circuitry to activate a left pump, in communication with a left cavity, to change fluid pressure in the left cavity, the left cavity defined by a left cover, the left cover sized and shaped to fit over a patient left eye to form the left cavity between the left cover and an anterior surface of the patient left eye and a right pump, in communication with a right cavity, to change fluid pressure in the right cavity, the right cavity defined by a right cover, the right cover sized and shaped to fit over a patient right eye to form the right cavity between the right cover and an anterior surface of the patient right eye, such that the left and right cavities are without fluid intercommunication therebetween such that the left and right cavities are separately and independently pressurizable, the program instructions performable to cause:
