Purpose: This study tests a new eye shield with a reusable sticky part after eye surgery. It aims to see if this shield can make patients happier and follow doctor's orders better.
About the Study: 20 patients who have cataract surgery, which is when a cloudy eye lens is removed and replaced with an artificial one, will be part of this study. Patients will be split into two groups - one using a new eye shield and the other using a standard plastic shield. After their first surgery, they will wear their assigned shield for 24 hours and then at night for 2 weeks. They will use eye drops during this time too. After the first eye heals, in about 1-2 months, they will have surgery on the second eye and use the other type of shield. A survey will be given after the second surgery to compare the two shields.
Key Points:
- Study involves 2 surgeries within 3 months.
- Post-surgery, use eye shields and follow regular care instructions.
- Complete a questionnaire comparing experiences after the second surgery.
