Summary

This study compares TegadermTM and EyeGard® in general anesthesia.

Detailed description

Protective eye tape is used during anesthesia in order to prevent corneal abrasion and other eye injuries. However, there is no single accepted practice of how to protect the eyes during anesthesia, and a variety of different tapes and techniques have been adopted in different institutions. In this study, investigators will compare two tapes, TegadermTM and EyeGard® to determine if one is less likely to cause eyelid irritation in an effort to improve care for future patients.
