Despite precautions being taken while a patient is undergoing a medical procedure, damage can occur to the eye during anaesthesia. Current protective techniques, such as tape or ointments, can cause temporary bruising or irritation of the eye. Anesthesia-Aid eye shields, distributed by Laser Physics, are self-adhesive eye shields for protecting the eye. The hypoallergenic shields keep the eye moist and minimise direct trauma to the area by keeping the eye securely closed.
The shields can prevent corneal abrasions, which occur when the cornea becomes too dry, says Laser Physics, and stop particles from entering the eye and causing irritation.
The disposable shields adhere only around the edge of the eye, providing a secure fit while not sticking to eyelashes, says the distributor.
Laser surgery facemasks, also distributed by Laser Physics, have been designed for those carrying out laser treatments. Laser procedures, such as tattoo or hair removal and skin resurfacing can create a plume of small airborne particles, caused by the destruction of tissue.
The particles can include harmful substances, so practitioners must wear adequate protective masks to prevent inhalation.
Laser Physics' facemasks are disposable and have 0.1 micron filtration to protect those carrying out laser treatments from the effects of plumes. The masks help to eliminate the inhalation of small particles and do not restrict downward vision, says Laser Physics.
