Reasons for applying an eye pad T o ‘rest’ the eye ( hyphaema , vitreous haemorrhage). T o aid healing following trauma ( corneal abrasion). T o protect the eye ( following surgery and procedures requiring corneal anaesthesia).
Method Ask the patient to close both eyes. Position the eye pad diagonally over the closed lids of the affected eye and tape firmly, but gently, to the forehead and cheek. Apply a second and third piece of tape to ensure the pad lies flat. Extra protection can be given by taping a shield over the pad in the same way.

Instill topical anesthetic drops . To examine the lower sac, pull the lower lid down with your finger while the patient looks up. To examine the upper sac, hold the proximal portion of the upper lid down with a cotton-tipped swab while pulling the lid out and up by its lashes, everting most of the lid, as the patient looks down. A loose foreign body usually adheres to a swab lightly touched to the surface of the conjunctiva, or will be washed out by copious irrigation with saline. Conjunctival foreign body removal
