Abstract:
This eye shield cap is formed of tubular knit stretchable open mesh fabric and includes a crown which snugly fits the head of the infant with a turned hem portion extending around the lower edge of the crown and adapted to extend behind the head and across the eyes of the infant. An elongate opaque fabric insert is positioned inside of the turned hem and extends across the area of the turned hem which covers the eyes and bridge of the nose of the infant. Lines of stitching extend along the turned hem and penetrate portions of the upper edge of the opaque fabric insert to retain the same in position. An upwardly curved bridge is formed in the medial portion of the lower edge of the elongate opaque fabric insert and is connected to the opaque fabric insert by additional stitching. The upwardly curved bridge portion serves to expose the upper portion of the nose of the infant to phototherapy treatment and the open mesh construction of the crown also exposes the head of the infant to the phototherapy treatment light rays.
