I claim:
1. A protective eye shield for a surgical patient comprising:
- a unitary flexible, soft and relatively thick, foamed, plastic blank means of substantially uniform thickness, having a substantially flat surface and shaped for covering a patient's lower forehead, across and beneath the eyes, and across the upper nose bridge, and having a pair of opposite openings over the eyes, said flat inner surface having a contact adhesive entirely around the peripheral portion thereof for securing the eye shield to the patient,
- a pair of thin, transparent, plastic covers overlying said openings, each cover having a flange terminating in a peripheral edge extending therearound, and which flange is secured to the inner mask surface around said openings, and
- tape, relatively thin as compared to the thickness of said foamed, plastic blank means, secured to said inner mask surface and substantially entirely around said flange to overlie said peripheral cover edge, whereby a patient is protected from said edge by said tape.
