The Quick-Stick Bili-Mask has no straps, is held in place by gentle adhesive, and is easy to apply. This popular new Bili-Mask is faster and easier to put on. Two small Velcro tabs with adhesive backing are applied to the baby's temples. Then the mask is simply placed over the eyes and fastened to the Velcro tabs by touch. The mask can be removed and replaced as often as desired without removing the tabs from the baby's skin. The special hypo-allergenic adhesive on the tabs is gentle enough to protect the baby's sensitive skin and yet will hold the tabs securely in place when properly applied. For complete eye protection, the pad itself is laminated of three layers of material. The two outer layers of soft, absorbent fabric go against the baby's eyes. A third layer, in the middle, consists of a black, light-blocking foam. The mask is large enough to completely cover the eyes and conform to the face. The Quick-Stick Bili-Mask comes in two sizes. Sterile - ready to use.

 

The Easy-On Bili-Mask has two straps and has elastic for easier fit and light-tight eye protection. This type of Bili-Mask provides the convenience of a two strap design and still features full adjustment, stability and reliable eye protection. One strap encircles the head laterally, and the other strap goes across the top of the head. Both straps have sections of elastic so they can be adjusted to fit the head snugly yet gently. The straps fasten by touch to the Velcro surface on the front of the mask. Protection against bright phototherapy lights is provided by a large pad of soft, absorbent material next to the baby's eyes, which is covered with a layer of opaque black Velcro. The Easy-On Bili-Mask is available in two sizes. Sterile - ready to use.

Gee, I wonder if not having his eyes properly protected could have contributed to or exacerbated it in any way?  The bottom line and my main question now is:

Are these people not taking this issue seriously enough, or is it not a serious issue to begin with, as after all it's only an infant's eyes we are talking about.  It makes one wonder just how many children's severe eye problems SHOULD BE linked to improper eye care and protection during phototherapy, yet is only linked to prematurity?  What's your opinion?  If someone who reads this can help me with some of the answers I'm looking for, please email me at dannfox@comcast.net
