Eye Injuries Protocol

(Including Corneal Ulcers, Eyelid Lacerations, Uveitis, and General Ocular Irritation)

Protocol:

Begin with the Basics Course to learn proper tape handling, stretch, and technique. For eye injuries, use the Bug Bites and Allergies application (Practical Solutions à la Carte). For clogged eye ducts, use the Clogged Eye Duct & Irritated Eyes application (Practical Solutions à la Carte). For eye issues due to allergies, use the Bug Bites and Allergies application (Practical Solutions à la Carte).

• For clogged tear ducts, apply the Clogged Eye Duct & Irritated Eyes application (Practical Solutions à la Carte) as demonstrated in the course. This application supports drainage, relieves discomfort, and can be used in conjunction with veterinary treatment.

• For allergy-related eye symptoms (weepy, gooey, or itchy eyes, runny nose), apply the Bug Bites and Allergies application (Practical Solutions à la Carte) to support lymphatic drainage from the facial nodes, clear histamine reactions, and reduce swelling.

• For acute traumatic injuries (corneal ulcers, eyelid lacerations, or active uveitis), always consult your veterinarian for diagnosis. Apply the Bug Bites and Allergies application (Practical Solutions à la Carte); this application will increase circulation to the eye and surrounding area, decrease inflammation, remove fluid stasis, reduce discomfort, and activate the lymphatic system to increase natural healing. This application can be used in conjunction with all veterinarian treatments.

• For chronic or recurring ocular swelling (after the acute phase is resolved and with veterinary clearance), use the Bug Bites and Allergies application as needed to maintain drainage and comfort.

• Continue the protocol until symptoms resolve and normal eye function is restored.

Tape Type:

• Advantage 2" (recommended for all eye and facial applications)
