ABSTRACT:
A protective shield shaped to fit either the right or left ocular globe and formed sufficiently large to provide maximum protection of the globe. The shield has a proper vault at the cornea to minimize corneal abrasion and is formed with a flattened area at the edge where the shield will be positioned at the trochlea which is the cartilaginous structure positioned nasally and superiorally relative to the globe. A similar flattened area may also be formed along the edge of the shield at the temporal side where there is a lateral canthal tendon. The shields may be made with a peg or handle positioned to be at the juncture of the lid closure over the globe.
