My dad unexpectedly lot his eye. He was discharged from hospital with a couple of these. When we ran out I drove around to just about every local pharmacy and was frustrated nobody carried any kind of eye shaped dressing. These are pretty much just like the ones the hospital had been using. Dad likes them because it is easier wear his glasses with this gauze covering his missing eye and looks neater. Before ordering these we'd been folding 3x3s which was somewhat bulky and hindered his glasses sitting on his nose properly.
