The 3M Opticlude Plus eye patch is a very useful product for treating certain visual disorders. It is a patch that intervenes in occlusive therapy. This technique consists of covering the healthy eye so that the diseased eye works harder.
It is very useful in cases of amblyopia, better known as lazy eye. It is characterised by an abnormal development of vision. It is very common in childhood, although it can also occur in adults, and the patch helps to correct this visual impairment.
It is also used to treat misalignment of the eyes that causes them not to look in the same direction (strabismus or tropia). A pathology that prevents the extarocular muscles from aligning with each other. This product is made of hypoallergenic material, a feature that helps to reduce the risk of skin allergies.
It has a porous backing made of non-absorbent, non-woven rayon fibres. It has an adhesive-coated bottom layer that facilitates repositioning, with a central compress of very soft texture. It helps the absorption of secretions, reducing humidity.
After the pad is adhered to the skin, lotions or creams can be applied without any inconvenience. It does not cause pain when removed and leaves no residue on the face. Its composition does not include latex.
