What is an eye patch?

Eye patches are medical aids used under the guidance of an ophthalmologist or orthoptist to cover one eye as part of treatment for certain eye conditions. They are especially common in the treatment of amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, where they help strengthen the weaker eye by forcing the brain to use it. Once the desired results are achieved, vision training is gradually reduced.

How to use an eye patch

Important Information Eye patches should only be used as directed by your ophthalmologist or orthoptist to avoid negative impacts on vision. Follow the schedule provided by your eye care professional carefully.

Applying the eye patch
  • Preparation: Ensure the skin around the eye is clean and dry. Avoid applying to wet or oily skin.
  • Remove the protective paper: Peel off the backing paper from the eye patch.
  • Apply the patch: Close both eyes and relax your face. Place the patch over the eye that does not need training, with the narrow end facing the nose as shown in the picture. For optimal comfort, the patch should cover the eyebrow.

Removing the eye patch

  • Loosen the patch: Gently start to peel the patch from the side closest to the bridge of the nose.
  • Remove: Carefully peel along the edge while holding the skin to minimize discomfort. Tip: If the patch is too sticky, press it first against your clothes or arm to reduce the adhesive strength, making it easier to remove.

Skin irritation

Stop using the eye patch if skin irritation occurs, and consult your ophthalmologist or orthoptist for alternatives, such as a fabric patch. We've also compiled tips to avoid skin irritation. Visit our 'Skin Irritation' page for more information.
