The eye patch is from Kay Fun Patch, which has been developed by an orthoptist who specializes in vision therapy for children. It can be used for both left and right eye, and reused several times. Moreover, the eye patch carries the CE-mark, is safe to use on skin, and can be hand-washed if subsequently air dried.

Usage

The eye patch can be used to treat children who suffer from amblyopia and do not wear glasses.

It is held up to the eye that is to be covered, and the elastic fixture is put around the head. Place the eye patch in front of the eye that requires covering and attach onto the head using the elastic. Make sure the eye patch sits tightly around the eye socket by adjusting the position to ensure that the child cannot peek.

The eye patch can be used as an alternative to adhesive eye patches, or in addition to adhesive eye patches, if the skin needs to take a break every now and again. An eye patch with elastic is NOT the most optimal treatment option for covering an eye when undergoing vision therapy. The reason is that the eye patch runs the risk of being moved from its original position, meaning it doesn’t sit tightly against the skin. Moreover, children can easily move the patch to the side to allow themselves to see. Adhesive eye patches are the best alternative treatment, for children who are not able to cope with wearing an adhesive patch. Then a patch with elastic is a good alternative.

Should only be used after consultation with an orthoptist or an eye doctor.

Shape

The eye patch is designed to include a small interior chamber for the eye/eyelashes in order to ensure appropriate comfort. All eye patches can be used on both the right and left eye.

Size

The eye patches with elastic from Kay Fun Patch are 7 cm x 5.5 cm (width x height). The built-in chamber measures approximately 2 cm from the tip to the eye. The elastic is 35 cm long, but fits all head sizes, since it can extend to more than double its length.

See our ’Size Guide’ where you can find an overview of all types and sizes of eye patches.

Materials

Environment

The manufacturer of the eye patches believes that the fabric patches are the most sustainable method for covering an eye as a course of treatment for amblyopia. They are made using fabric that can be washed by hand, which means that they can be reused time and time again for many months.

The fabric is manufactured, dyed, and cut in the United Kingdom using environmentally friendly methods and dyes, thus giving them a low CO2 footprint.

The packaging consists of an RPET (recycled-polyethylene-terephthalate) box, which also has a minimal CO2 footprint. It is a recyclable material and can be used to store the eye patch when not in use.

Safety

The eye patch is safe to use. Nevertheless, we advise that children wearing one are supervised.

As is the case with headbands and other elasticated headgear, the eye patch can be pulled down, so it hangs around the neck. This does not pose any immediate danger, as the elastic is very flexible and can be extended to double its length. But technically, the eye patch could constitute a potential choking hazard if it were to get caught on something.

Additional

This is NOT a toy. Only use this eye patch after having consulted an eye doctor or orthoptist first, in order to achieve the necessary correction.

The eye patch is approved for use by children of 3+ years.

Manufactured in England.

Indlægget Eye patch with elastic – Bats blev først udgivet på Vision4Kids.

The name of this brand is Kay Fun Patch, developed by an English orthoptist who specializes in vision therapy treatment for children. The eye patches fit all types of glasses. They can be reused and cover both the right and left eye depending on the situation. Furthermore, the eye patches carry the CE-mark, are skin-friendly, and can be hand-washed if they are subsequently air-dried.

We have a large selection of eye patches for children, so there is a wide range of designs to choose from. As a result, there are designs to suit all interests. Finding the perfect design can help to motivate a child to wear the eye patch.

Usage

The eye patch can be used by children to treat sight impairments, such as amblyopia. It is attached to the inside of the glasses. This is beneficial, as the glasses help to keep the eye patch in a good position, and prevent light from penetrating from the sides, due to the tightly fitted design.

The eye patch can be used as an alternative to/in addition to ‘Adhesive eye patches’ if you feel that you may need a break from them for a little while because of skin irritation.

Must only be used after consulting with an orthoptist or an eye doctor.

Shape

The eye patch consists of an oval piece of fabric, which sits on the inside of the lens. It has been designed to accommodate both the lens and the leg of the glasses, so that it covers the entire eye. Placing it on the inside of the glasses ensures a tight fit around the skin, which prevents any light from entering from the side. Blocking out light is one of the most important elements in this form of eye therapy treatment. For this reason, the black layer of fabric on the inside has been tightly woven.

The eye patch has been given a symmetrical shape, which means that it can be used to cover both the right and left eye. Certain eye patches feature a pattern, so when ordering, you must specify whether the eye patch is for the left or right eye.

Instructions

The eye patch is attached to the glasses by passing the leg of the glasses through the two holes and the nose pad through the third hole. If the glasses do not have a nose pad, then elastic is used to fasten the eye patch.

You can find instructions on how to attach the eye patch onto glasses on the page ‘Guide for eye patches’.

Size

The eye patch is made using a soft, cushioned, and highly breathable choice of fabric. This makes it skin-friendly and comfortable to wear.

The fabric used to make the eye patch is Oeko-Tex® certified, soft, and hypoallergenic. It consists of several layers of breathable fabric on top of each other. The inner black layer is made of 100% cotton, which ensures good comfort against the skin and allows any moisture to either be absorbed or directed away. For these reasons, the eye patch is comfortable and skin-friendly to wear.

There is also the possibility of washing the eye patch using a mild detergent and cool water. Subsequently, the patch must be air dried in order to keep its shape and appearance.

Environment

As the eye patch is washable, it can be reused again and again for several months. Thus, the eye patch can boast of having sustainable qualities.

The fabric is produced, dyed, and cut in the United Kingdom using environmentally friendly methods and colours. This gives it a low CO2 footprint.

The glitter designs are made using polyurethane, which can be recycled.

Safety

The eye patch is safe to use. Nevertheless, we advise that small children wearing an eye patch are supervised.

Additional

This is NOT a toy. If you use the eye patch without consulting an eye doctor first, you may risk negatively impacting sight development. Therefore, it is important that eye patches are only used as a course of treatment if an orthoptist or eye doctor has advised doing so.

The eye patch is approved for use by children of three years old and above.

It is produced in England and carries the CE-mark.

Indlægget Eye patch – Superhero blev først udgivet på Vision4Kids.

Children with amblyopia, also known as ‘lazy eye,’ are in a difficult situation. They may be at an age where the weaker eye can be improved by training with eye patches, but they may be too young to understand why it is necessary and may resist it. When they become old enough to understand and cooperate, it may be too late to get the brain to use the lazy eye. They need all the help they can get to feel comfortable wearing an eye patch and thus be supported to make the weak eye stronger, including help from the superhero Amazing Amber.

This story aims to help children positively identify with Amber, who wears an eye patch, and themselves become superheroes. Treating amblyopia requires effort from caregivers and children. Read this book over and over again to your child to strengthen their sense of doing something good when they have the eye patch on.

The book is also suitable for preschools and daycare centers, where children, by reading the book, will become familiar with the fact that children are different and that it is cool to wear an eye patch if any of their friends need to wear one.
