Abstract
We developed a patient eye shield consisting of a sandwich of polymethylmethacrylate and tinfoil to provide corneal and retinal protection from inadvertent injury during argon, neodymium:YAG, or dye laser treatment. The shield was tested with argon, dye, neodymium:YAG and CO2 lasers. This new eye shield is safe, comfortable, and easy to clean and use.
