ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a self-adherent eye occluder for use in visual diagnostic testing and treatment is provided which includes an eye occluder that is designed to drape or contour over the eye and substantially block its vision. The eye occluder need not be fully light occlusive when it is placed over the eye, as it is intended for use in visual function and neuropthalmologic testing and treatment in which it is unnecessary to block light. The eye occluder is further provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive material applied to at least a portion of a posterior side of the eye occluder sufficient to adhere the eye occluder to either the periorbital tissue about the eye or to spectacles worn over the eye. The occluder can be constructed to be disposable. The present invention also includes a method for using the eye occluder to occlude an eye, while simultaneously allowing the patient, visual tester, or other practitioner to transcribe information or records directly on an anterior surface of the occluder for efficient record-keeping and treatment.
