Eye protection chamber versus adhesive tape to prevent corneal injury in critically ill patients: A randomized pilot-controlled trial
The chamber demonstrated efficacy and feasibility in preventing corneal injuries in critically ill patients with impaired or absent blink reflexes, and it can be tested in other centers. Implementing preventive strategies, such as eyelid closure, lubrication, and mechanical protection, is essential to enhance patient safety and reduce avoidable ocular complications in intensive care settings.
