How to make an eye pad and eye shields?
Eye patching pad is used for comfort, and an eye shield is used for protecting the eyeball.Eye Pad:
Reasons for applying an eye pad are to ‘rest’ the eyes, to aid healing non-penetrating trauma such as corneal abrasion and to protect the eye after ocular surgeries and procedures requiring corneal anaesthesia.Things to Keep in Mind before padding:
It is important to remind the patient not to open the affected eye under the pad. If the eyelids do not close naturally over the cornea it will be necessary, before padding, to tape the eyelids closed.
