Eye shield strip-aid method and devices

An apparatus for protecting an eye after eye surgery, comprising:

• an adhesive strip having an oval center body with an oval opening and a first tab protruding outward from the oval center body forming a first longitudinal terminus of the adhesive strip at a first end and a second tab protruding outward from the oval center body forming a second longitudinal terminus of the adhesive strip at a second end;
• an eye shield located within the oval center body and having an inner oval shape portion having plural holes to allow visibility and ventilation to the eye of the user;
• first[,] and second and third flexible extensions on opposite[s] sides of the eye shield, wherein the first flexible extension is configured to rest near on an eyebrow of a user[,] and the second flexible extension is configured to rest near on a cheek of the user;
• wherein the adhesive strip further includes a backside adhesive coating located along a perimeter edge of the oval opening and configured to adhere the eye shield to the adhesive strip;
• wherein each of the first and second tabs have first adhesive portions configured to adhere respectively to the first and second flexible tabs of the eye shield and wherein each of the first and second tabs have hypoallergenic lower adhesive portions configured to adhere respectively to the eyebrow of the user and the cheek of the user;
• at least one sensor coupled to the eye shield and located in close proximity to the eye of the user and configured to detect bacteria in surrounding areas and in close proximity to the eye of the user;
• and
• an eye guard mobile application with a graphical user interface and an alert processor operating on a mobile device of the user, wherein the alert processor is wirelessly coupled to the at least one sensor and wherein the eye guard mobile application is configured to display alerts on the graphical user interface when bacteria is detected by the at least one sensor.

A method, comprising:

• providing an adhesive strip having an oval center body with an oval opening and a first tab protruding outward from the oval center body forming a first longitudinal terminus of the adhesive strip at a first end and a second tab protruding outward from the oval center body forming a second longitudinal terminus of the adhesive strip at a second end;
• providing an eye shield located within the oval center body and having an inner oval shape portion having at least two different sized holes to allow visibility and ventilation to the eye of the user;
• resting first and second flexible extensions on opposites sides of the eye shield, wherein the first flexible extension is configured to rest on an eyebrow of a user[;] and the second flexible extension is configured to rest on a cheek of the user;
• providing the adhesive strip further includes a backside adhesive coating located along a perimeter edge of the oval opening and configured to adhere the eye shield to the adhesive strip;
• adhering each of the first and second tabs that have first adhesive portions configured to adhere respectively to the first and second flexible tabs of the eye shield[;] and wherein each of the first and second tabs that have hypoallergenic lower adhesive portions configured to adhere respectively to the eyebrow of the user and the cheek of the user;
• providing at least one sensor coupled to the eye shield in close proximity to the eye of the user and configured to detect bacteria in surrounding areas and in close proximity to the eye of the user;
• and
• operating an eye guard mobile application with a graphical user interface and an alert processor on a mobile device of the user, wherein the alert processor is wirelessly coupled to the at least one sensor and wherein the eye guard mobile application is configured to display alerts on the graphical user interface when bacteria is detected by the at least one sensor.
