ABSTRACT:
An ophthalmic drape that can easily be adhered to both the upper and lower margins of the eye without requiring the use of separate instruments for cutting and adjusting. The drape includes a sheet of material with an aperture positioned away from the periphery of the sheet. The drape has two fields of skin compatible adhesive, one on one side of the sheet near the aperture, the other on the other side of the sheet near the periphery. Once the first field of skin compatible adhesive has been adhered to one of the patient's eyelids, the section of the drape supporting the second field of skin compatible adhesive can be folded upwards and doubled back on the drape. The second field of skin compatible adhesive, which had been side away from the patient before folding, is turned side towards the patient after folding. The second field of skin compatible adhesive is then conveniently positioned to be adhered to the remaining eyelid of the patient.
