[0005] A surgical eye patch includes a silicone shell and a hydrogel layer attached to the inner side of the silicone shell. The silicone shell includes a sticking part and two eyeball chambers. The eyeball chambers correspond to the positions of the eyes, avoiding the hydrogel layer directly fitting on the eyelids. A storage groove is formed inside the sticking part. Menthol is filled in the storage groove.

[0006] Preferably, a peelable layer is attached to the outer side of the hydrogel layer.

[0007] Preferably, the thickness of the hydrogel layer is 5 mm.

[0008] Preferably, the sticking part and the eyeball chambers are smoothly connected.

[0009] Preferably, the eyeball chambers are hemispherical, and their openings are ellipses with a major axis of 40 mm and a minor axis of 30 mm; the depth of the eyeball chambers is 20 mm.

[0010] Preferably, the shortest distance between the two eyeball chambers is greater than 20 mm.

[0011] The utility model covers the periphery of the eyes with the hydrogel layer. The hydrogel layer inside the eyeball chambers plays a role in moisturizing the eyes of patients with incomplete eyelid closure such as those under general anesthesia, in the intensive care unit with strong sedation and analgesia, and in a coma, and preventing bacterial infection. Moreover, the eyeball chambers can accommodate the protruding eyeballs, avoiding the hydrogel layer fitting on the eyelids and pressing the eyeballs and damaging the eyelashes during the removal process.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] In the present utility model, the hydrogel layer 2 covers the periphery of the eye. The hydrogel layer 2 inside the eyeball chamber 12 plays a role in moisturizing the eyes of patients with incomplete eyelid closure caused by general anesthesia, strong sedative analgesia in the ICU, coma, etc. and preventing bacterial infection. And the eyeball chamber 12 can accommodate the protruding eyeball, avoiding the hydrogel layer 2 from adhering to the eyelid and pressing the eyeball and damaging the eyelashes during the disassembly process.

[0022] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a surgical eye patch includes a silicone shell 1 and a hydrogel layer 2 attached to the inner side of the silicone shell 1. The silicone shell 1 includes an adhesive part 11 and two eyeball chambers 12. The eyeball chambers 12 correspond to the eye positions to prevent the hydrogel layer 2 from directly adhering to the eyelids. A storage groove 111 is formed inside the adhesive part 11. Menthol 112 is filled in the storage groove 111. The hydrogel layer 2 not only plays a role in adhesion but also has a moisturizing function.

[0023] Furthermore, a peelable layer 3 is attached to the outer side of the hydrogel layer 2, and the material can be aluminum foil or PP material. The function of the peelable layer 3 is to protect the hydrogel layer 2 on the surgical eye patch and prevent bacteria and dust from adhering to it.

[0024] Furthermore, the thickness of the hydrogel layer 2 is 5 mm. The thickness determines its water storage capacity and forming effect. If the hydrogel layer 2 is too thick, it is likely to fall off when pasted on the eye because the hydrogel is a colloid and has a certain fluidity. If the hydrogel layer 2 is too thin, it cannot store enough water and the moisturizing effect is poor.

[0025] Furthermore, the adhesive part 11 and the eyeball chambers 12 are smoothly connected to avoid the connection between the adhesive part 11 and the eyeball chambers 12 being too sharp, which may cause squeezing and damage to the eye socket during wearing.

[0026] Furthermore, the eyeball chambers 12 are hemispherical, and their openings are ellipses with a major axis of 40 mm and a minor axis of 30 mm; the depth of the eyeball chambers 12 is 20 mm. The size of the eyeball chambers 12 is limited to ensure that when the surgical eye patch is pasted on the eye, it will not adhere to or even compress the eyelids, resulting in damage to the eyelashes when removing the surgical eye patch.

[0027] Furthermore, the shortest distance between the two eyeball chambers 12 is greater than 20 mm, leaving enough space for pasting between the eyes.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] Tear off the peelable layer 3 and paste the surgical eye patch on the patient's eye. It should be noted that the eyeball chambers 12 correspond to the eyeball positions, and the hydrogel layer 2 outside the adhesive part 11 is pasted around the eye socket. The menthol 112 in the storage groove 111 can dissolve in the water-rich hydrogel layer 2, thus acting on the skin around the eye and having a soothing effect on the skin.

[0030] Menthol 112 can selectively stimulate the cold receptors of the human skin or mucous membranes, producing cold reflexes and a cold sensation, causing vasoconstriction of the skin and mucous membranes. When used externally, it can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, stop itching, promote blood circulation, and reduce swelling, etc. Hydrogel is a gel with water as the dispersion medium. It is a cross-linked polymer in which a water-soluble polymer with a network cross-linked structure incorporates a part of hydrophobic groups and hydrophilic residues. The hydrophilic residues combine with water molecules, connecting the water molecules inside the network, while the hydrophobic residues swell upon contact with water. It is a polymer network system with a soft nature, capable of maintaining a certain shape and absorbing a large amount of water. It is widely used in various fields, such as drought resistance in arid regions, and in the fields of facial masks, antipyretic patches, analgesic patches, etc. in cosmetics.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0032] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature being "on" the second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. The meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically limited.
