Eye patches for pinkeye
Study highlights
Pinkeye lesions were stratified by severity (Figure 1) and randomized to receive an eye patch or no eye patch.

Ulcers that received an eye patch healed faster over time (Figure 2).

No weight gain differences were found between those receiving an eye patch versus those that didn't.
