Abstract
The present invention provides an inexpensively formed perimeter garter for use with eye patches during a post-surgery or post-injury period. The perimeter garter comprises a strip taken from a flat sheet of resilient foam material and formed into a closed curve. The perimeter length of the garter is less than the perimeter length of the eye patch by an amount which causes the garter to stretch around the perimeter of the eye patch and fold down on the opposite sides of the eye patch to lie relatively flat against the sides.
