Abstract
An eye patch is provided for preventing opening of an eye and preventing corneal abrasion. The patch comprises a compressible planar pad having a configuration which fits within the eye socket to permit easy contact with the outer surface of the eyelids over a closed eye. The planar pad is flexible to facilitate conforming to the outer surface of the lids of the eye. One surface of the pad has an adhesive with a low to moderate adhesion applied thereto to permit securement of the lids in a closed position while permitting removal of the patch with minimal patient discomfort.
