Anyone know where I can get an elasticated plastic eye guard

Postby craigthornton » Thu 17 Mar 2011 7:08 am

Occasionally I will wake up in the night with my grafted eye really sore and watery. It settles by the morning, tender for a day, then fine.

I can only assume I have subjected it to pillow rub and so want to protect it.

I got a plastic eye guard after the actual operation but that was fiddly taping up every night (and the tape sometimes came off anyway). I have tried "pirate patches" but they don't offer much protection against rubbing.

Has anyone seen where you can get plastic eye guards with elastic straps on?

Thanks
