Abstract
A light-occlusive self adherent eyepatch is disclosed comprising an absorbent pad having a nonadherent lower surface, a thin microporous polymeric film overlying the upper surface of the pad, pressure sensitive adhesive means extending around the periphery of the pad to adhere the patch to the eye socket, and a removable liner protecting the lower surface of the pad and the adhesive prior to use. The polymeric film blocks at least 95 percent of the light of a preselected wavelength impinging on the film, and the overall eyepatch is conformable and moisture vapor permeable.
