ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a pressure eye patch in which an inner membrane is positioned over the patient's eye and fixed thereto by means of adhesive on its inner side with an outer membrane which is superimposed over the inner membrane, thus forming a cavity that is interposed between the outer membrane and the inner membrane. There is an elongated longitudinal slit in the outer membrane which allows the outer membrane to be opened to allow access to the cavity. Cushioning material such as sterile gauze may be inserted into the cavity through this opening. Alternatively, a cooling or heating material may also be emplaced in the cavity. Instead of the elongated slit there may be a partial peripheral opening between the front and rear membranes to allow access to the cavity.
