AN EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE DEVICE FOR PROTECTING THE EYES AND THE EYE LIDS OF A PATIENT AGAINST RADIATION ENERGY

摘要

External ocular shields for protecting a patient"s eyes from medical treatment radiation energy such as a laser during a medical procedure. Each shield has an external surface that absorbs energy that hits the shield. The shields are connected to each other by a nose piece, and the nose piece is connected to each shield by a mounting means. The mounting means are positioned perpendicular to the shields and parallel to each other so that the nose piece can pivot upward towards the user"s forehead and downward towards the user"s chin without altering the fit of the shields over the user"s eyes.
