Time to Give Eyelid Taping a Rest?
The Med-Eye Pillow, the first alternative to using adhesive tape to
protect the eyes during general anesthesia, is designed to keep eyes
gently closed without the risk of eye desiccation, allergic reactions,
tearing of eyelashes or damage to delicate skin in the ocular area.
The disposable pillow is made of small non-irritating silicone pellets
encased in a porous material. After applying eye lubricant, the anes-
thesia provider closes the eyelids and then places the pillow across
the nose to rest on each eyelid.
