| Abstract: |
The invention is an Infant Eye Shield specifically used to protect the eyes of premature and full term infants requiring phototherapy treatment. The shield is constructed to be of the absolute minimum size to expose the greatest amount of skin area to the light rays. It is adhesively attached to the infant for ease of removal without injury to the sensitive skin. The shield is intended to be reuseable but its low cost permits disposable use.
