quick question: Eye Shield

[Andrew MacLean]

If you are using micropore tape, try putting a "cross" shape (stickside up) on a table. Put your eye shield onto the place where the strips of tape cross so that it sticks to the tape.

Now all you have to do is pick up the sheild and tape and put the whole thing on your face.

Cheers Andrew,

That's great advice, so simple too.

On the downside it'll give me a couple of hours more to fill that I had usefully spent untaping myself.

Is there any other shields one can purchase to wear at night? I was thinking of something that straps on?

If not I'm more than comfortable taping myself up at night, but it seems such a wasteful thing to do. Especially when taking into account I could be wearing an eye shield for months.

I think that they use the ones you tape to yourface because they will not move. An eyeshield with straps might move leaving your eye exposed to danger.

I always got hubby to put my eye shield on for me as i always got in a right mess with it.
Hubby was really good at it. Apart from the night he came home from his christmas works do rather drunk and managed to stick tape everywhere while laughing at me
he was in one of those moods when drunk people think they can still do everything just aswell as they normally do.

My wife is at present putting my eyeguard on for me at night ( for a period of 2 weeks following the second cataract op).

She used my first eye for practise. I am not sure if it is because she is left handed but she kept sticking the tape onto my nose and my hair onto my forehead! Only another week to go now.

at Anne, I can imagine Hubby's post pub taping.

Michael, Your wifes practices sound like my first attempts. It certainly took me a while to remove all the tape come the morning. Glad to hear you only have another week with the shield though
