Protect the eye with a SHIELD, not a patch.

A rigid shield will protect the eye from pressure. Avoid/prevent manipulation or additional trauma to the eye that might cause further damage.

Pressure could force the interior contents of the eye to come out of the eyeball.

Pressure dressings are not part of the care of an eye injured in combat and may result in an avoidable permanent loss of vision.

For protruding or impaled objects extending past the eye shield, cut a hole in it to allow the object to fit through, and secure it in place.

If the eye shield cannot be applied around the impaled object, then use an improvised eye shield to avoid pressure on the eye.
