A membrane shield for application over the eye of a wearer to retain moisture. The moisture shield includes a window that can be made of a transparent plastic. A collar is connected to the perimeter of the window such that the collar extends outwardly from the window. An adhesive layer, such as an adhesive gel, is applied to the collar to permit the moisture shield to be adhered to the wearer's face about the eye. A vapor distribution element is attached to the membrane shield to expose the eye to a desired substance or substances, such as water or medication. |
