My surgeon says he doesn't use protective eye shields. Should I be worried? I'm having uppers and lowers using the Transconjunctival incision method.
Answer: Use of corneal shields in blepharoplasty Personally, I do not use eye Shields and upper blepharoplasty. Given that the eyelids are closed during this procedure, there is, at least in my mind, no good reason to use them.In trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty, I routinely use shields to further protect the cornea. If skin tightening requires incisions under the eyelashes, I do not use shields. In general, what your facial plastic surgeon prefers as his routine and time-proven approach needs to make you comfortable before undergoing eyelid lift surgery.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Corneal shields are very important for safety during blepharoplasty eyelid surgery Thank you for your question. Even with the greatest care there are many possibilities for eye injury from instrumentation or lasers during eyelid surgery. In my opinion corneal shields should always be used during blepharoplasty surgery.

Answer: Eye shields for trans- conjunctival blepharoplasty Shields are absolutely necessary if you're having laser work anywhere close to your eye. In our practice, we do not use eye shields when performing a blepharoplasty. There are too cumbersome and we have actually seen scratches of the cornea even while using them.

Answer: Eye sheields For uppers they are not as important as for lowers. With a transconj approach, I would use them with rare exception.

Answer: Are the eyes covered after blepharoplasty? Shields are not necessary after blepharoplasty or most other eyelid surgeries. This provides the ability to perform surgery on both sides and the patient can see and function after surgery. This is different than when having intraocular surgery such as cataracts.
