ABSTRACT:
The eyelash retractor covers and shields the eyelashes and adjacent portions of the eyelid during examination of and/or surgery on the eyeball of a patient and comprises a body member of thin film material with a hooked inner portion adapted to extend beneath the eyelid of the patient with the portion of the body member adjacent the hooked portion covering and shielding the eyelashes and substantially the full width of the adjacent portion of the eyelid to maintain the eyelashes out of the area of the eyeball and provide a clear and unobstructed field for examination of and/or surgery on the eyeball. The eyelash retractor is disclosed as being divided intermediate the opposite sides to form two separate parts with mating free inner sides adapted to mate in abutting or overlapping relationship when the retractor parts are positioned on the eyelid of the patient. The eyelash retractor is simple to apply and remove and is sufficiently low in cost that it may be discarded after one use.
