title: A new eye shield based on an optimized pinhole array.
abstract: The new eye shield described here incorporates the principles of a compound array that provides a significant improvement in vision (from hand movements to 20/100 or better) in a nonaccommodative eye, while retaining all other properties (protection, ventilation, reduction of glare) of eye shields used currently. It is recommended for routine use in patients after intraocular surgery and pupillary dilatation.
