Publication number: 20220062050Abstract: A disposable perioperative eye patch for protecting the eyes and eyelashes of anesthetized patients during and immediately after surgery. The perioperative eye patch may be applied to the eyes of an anesthetized patient prior to surgery to securely, yet delicately, keep a patient's eyes closed during surgery to avoid ocular dryness and injury. The perioperative eye patch may be comprised of a dressing, a cushion, and a cover, allowing the perioperative eye patch to be securely attached to a patient's periorbital region. The size of the dressing, as well as the adhesive used, allow the perioperative eye patch to be applied and removed from a patient's periorbital region without causing damage to a patient's eyelashes during the perioperative period.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Applicant: Linda L.
