SNAPS Eyeshield: a tapeless postoperative eye shield
The postoperative eye shield had barely changed in a century: hard plastic taped to the face, uncomfortable to wear and awkward to remove for drops or exams. More than half of patients say taped shields are uncomfortable and cumbersome.
Dr. Mali helped design SNAPS with the engineering team at Intermed Labs at Mon Health to fix that. It is a clear, tapeless shield that clips onto small adhesive anchors, sits just off the skin, lets air flow, and flips open for an exam or eye drops without removing anything from the face.
