How do you wear or use the Eye Shield after eye surgery?

Ғылым және технология

For patients that have eye surgery such as cataract or lens replacement surgery, you will be asked to use an eye shield to protect your eyes after surgery. Typically the shield is used when you go to bed to prevent inadvertent pressure on the eye for the first week after surgery.
I explain how to apply the eyeshiled using paper tape.

    Thank you. I had no instructions other than "wear this at night." Seems I am not the only one. What is wrong with all these doctors and nurses not giving proper instructions?!

    We got what I would call "partial" directions just prior to discharge. But details like the length of tape is helpful. Also seeing the demonstration of how to rotate the shield at more like 45 degrees on the face is also helpful. It's more like an eye patch, less like glasses.

    Excellent video! My doctor put the shield on me and at the time he said “now this is where I need your help. Just hold it in place while I tape you up.” Living alone, I was a bit worried as so how I would do it without assistance. Also he didn’t point out, and I didn’t notice, that the top went above the eyebrow, making that vital 45 degree angle across the face. I was trying to put it more horizontal. I also used WAY to much tape, because the first application was a huge lumpy mass of bandage, padding, shield and tape. They didn’t actually provide tape so I was using bandaids, which are twice the length you need.

    I had cataract surgery 10 days ago. The shield they gave me was a metal oval shield that really didn’t fit the contours of my face well. And the tape that was included caused a horrible skin reaction. I had angry red skin where the tape touched my face. I had to go buy tape that was for extra sensitive skin. It did the trick. As a note, I was given absolutely no instruction on how to apply the shield.
