Abstract: An overhead light shield is disclosed including a first and a second optically transparent film being partially circle. The first and second optically transparent film includes a notch. The first and second optically transparent films have an upper film side and a lower film side wherein the lower film side has an adhesive layer. The first and second optically transparent films include a plurality of film tabs extending outwardly from the optically transparent circumferential edges. The optically transparent films are protected by a first and a second peel-away film that is removably affixed. The peel-away films contain tabs extending outwardly from the first peel-away film circumferential edges. The optically transparent film tabs and the peel-away film tabs define grasping tabs for positioning the optically transparent film to the surgical room light. The optically transparent film adhesive layers couple the optically transparent films to the surgical room light.
