How to apply an eye pad

Wash your hands, ask the person to close both eyes, and place the pad gently over the closed lid before securing it with tape or a bandage. Do not press. Two points matter more than the technique: if the eye has a penetrating injury or something embedded in it, do not pad it and do not apply any pressure - shield it without contact and get urgent help. And covering both eyes stops the eyes moving together, which is sometimes advised for a serious injury but is disorienting, so only do it if you have been told to. For a chemical splash, irrigation comes first and takes priority over covering anything. Any eye injury with pain, vision change or an embedded object needs medical assessment, not just a pad.

Common uses

Eye injuries and foreign body incidents in workplace and site first aid, post-procedure covering in clinics and optometry, and general first aid kits. Keep it beside saline eye wash for irrigation, or browse the wider first aid supplies range at MediBC.
