Abstract
Thin lead eye shields formed with a rubber hammer over smooth wooden mandril and coated with dental acrylic have been used on 25 patients undergoing electron beam treatment for mycosis fungoides or superficial x-ray irradiation with no significant difficulties. The shields may be fabricated in less than two hours and exactly fit the contour and size of the eye. Details of the fabrication process and evaluation of the shielding effectiveness are presented.
