Zusammenfassung:Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided herein to control movement of a patient's eyelid during a diagnostic procedure such as scanning the patient's eye with an ultrasound or optical imaging device. Strips having a non-adhesive portion and an adhesive portion are attached to each eyelid. The patient can then pull on distal ends of the strip to open the patient's eye and press the strips into an eyepiece to hold the patient's eyelids and keep the patient's eye open.
