3M Opticlude Printed Eye Patches Mini 5cm x 6cm, 30 patches

3M Opticlude eye patches is an accessory that has the capacity to cover the eye without causing discomfort throughout the day. The operation of this product is simple and straightforward. As it will completely cover the strong eye, the child will have to use the weak eye for everything. This is how it will gradually start to get stronger.

Deviations such as strabismus occur very commonly in childhood, but they are not serious as long as they are treated in time. This means that, if the child grows up without treatment, serious complications can arise.

Whatever the name (strabismus, lazy eye or crossed eye), it is a weakness that is most treatable with good eye exercise. So, in order for this product to make a positive contribution and not be too uncomfortable for the child, it has the following features:

• The adhesive that holds the patch to the skin does not easily cause irritation. It does not adhere strongly to the skin, so removing it will not be painful.
• Normally, the eye produces some secretions to keep it moisturised. However, when it is covered it tends to increase these fluids. What happens in this case is that the accessory will absorb the fluid to keep the skin dry and minimise moisture.
• Finally, the patch has some porosities that do not interfere with the functioning and perspiration of the skin. A benefit of this is that excessive sweating will not occur.
