ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to eye care products and more particularly to an eye patch construction method that includes the steps of: a) providing a quantity of a non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon polymer putty; b) providing an eyeglass assembly including two eye glass lenses held in an eye glass frame, each eye glass lens having an eye facing surface and an object facing surface; c) molding the quantity of non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon polymer putty over the eye to be covered such that light is prevented from entering the eye; and d) positioning the eyeglass assembly onto the face such that the non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon putty is adhered to the eye facing surface of one of the eye glass lens and to skin surrounding the eye to be covered such that light is prevented from entering the eye.
BACKGROUND ART
It is often necessary for individuals suffering from lazy eye and other ocular problems to wear an eye patch for an extended period of time. These eye patches are often adhesively held in place and leave a residue on the skin surface which is difficult to remove. It would be a benefit, therefore, to have an eye patch that would adhere to the skin surface but which would leave no residue on the skin surface to be cleaned.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide an eye patch construction method that includes the steps of: a) providing a quantity of a non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon polymer putty; b) providing an eyeglass assembly including two eye glass lenses held in an eye glass frame, each eye glass lens having an eye facing surface and an object facing surface; c) molding the quantity of non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon polymer putty over the eye to be covered such that light is prevented from entering the eye; and d) positioning the eyeglass assembly onto the face such that the non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon putty is adhered to the eye facing surface of one of the eye glass lens and to skin surrounding the eye to be covered such that light is prevented from entering the eye.
Accordingly, an eye patch construction method is provided. The eye patch construction method includes eye patch construction method that includes the steps of: a) providing a quantity of a non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon polymer putty; b) providing an eyeglass assembly including two eye glass lenses held in an eye glass frame, each eye glass lens having an eye facing surface and an object facing surface; c) molding the quantity of non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon polymer putty over the eye to be covered such that light is prevented from entering the eye; and d) positioning the eyeglass assembly onto the face such that the non-residue leaving, adhering, silicon putty is adhered to the eye facing surface of one of the eye glass lens and to skin surrounding the eye to be covered such that light is prevented from entering the eye.
