1. A method comprising:
providing a first electrode substrate, wherein the first electrode substrate includes:
a first plurality of electrodes on the first electrode substrate that are configured to apply tissue-stimulation electrical-current therapy to a first eye of a patient in a room, the first eye having an upper eyelid and a lower eyelid, wherein the first electrode substrate is configured to locate the first plurality of electrodes on an outer surface of at least one of the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid of the patient's first eye, and wherein each one of the first plurality of electrodes is configured to be individually activated;
placing the first electrode substrate on the patient's skin such that the first plurality of electrodes is on the outer surface of at least one of the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid of the patient's first eye;
applying the tissue-stimulation electrical-current therapy applied to the first eye;
providing sensors;
sensing, using the sensors, ambient-light characteristics of the room during the applying of the tissue-stimulation electrical-current therapy; and
determining whether the ambient-light characteristics of the room affect an efficacy of the tissue-stimulation electrical-current therapy.
