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.

A simple eye-lens shielding technique compatible with independent jaws of a linear accelerator.

A technique, compatible with accelerators having independent collimators, is presented, which greatly simplifies alignment of pencil eye-lens shields. The patient is placed so that the eye to be shielded is on the central axis of the beam and the accelerator's collimators are adjusted independently to define the field. A divergent lead shield 14 cm long is suspended from a wire that hangs along the central axis from a blocking tray in its usual location. The suspension length is variable and adjusted on the first day so that the shield is about 1 cm above the patient's eye. On subsequent treatment days, the wire is simply put in place on the tray with no further adjustment required. This technique reduces setup time and makes the shield positioning highly reproducible.
