Description
A metal corneal shield is a specialized medical device used by ophthalmologists (eye physicians) to protect the cornea, or transparent dome at the front of the eye, during different surgical operations.
Purpose:
- Protects the cornea against unintentional contact with surgical equipment during treatments such as laser eye surgery, blepharoplasty, and incisions near the eye.
- Protects the cornea from possible laser damage during various eye procedures.
Types:
- Cox II shield: The most popular metal corneal shield, usually constructed of stainless steel. It comes in a variety of sizes to accommodate different eye shapes.
Design:
- Conforms to the eye: The shield is curved slightly to match the curvature of the eye’s globe.
Vault over the cornea: A tiny dome-shaped region shields the cornea. - Highly polished surfaces minimize friction, ensuring patient comfort during insertion, removal, and throughout the treatment.
- Rounded edges: To provide greater comfort and avoid eye scratching.
Suction cup attachment: Many metal corneal shields have a suction cup for simple application and removal from the eye. - Autoclavable: Metal shields may be sanitized in an autoclave at high temperatures for many applications.
