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 – Construction 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.

Life with a pair of glasses can be hard and even expensive when they need to be replaced … this is especially true when the owner is a child who runs around at full speed can be for-getful at times. With a glasses case, taking care of glasses is made easier for both children and adults. A hard case protects the glasses when they are not being used and makes it easy to take them with you on the go without damaging them.

If it turns into a good habit for children as well as adults to place their glasses in a secure case, then they can enjoy the benefit of always knowing where their glasses are. In addi-tion, the case protects the glasses from scratches and other damage. It thus ensures the glasses are safe and sound when you are carrying them in your bag or the car.

The glasses case features metal hinges that ensure a good open/close function, and the black interior will not scratch your glasses.

The glasses case fits most children’s glasses, adults’ glasses, sunglasses, and reading glasses.

Dimensions of glasses case:
Length: 15,5 cm
Width:7 cm
Height: 4,1 cm

Usage

The eye patch from Kay Fun Patch can be attached to all types of glasses – both those with and without a nose pad. The eye patch is attached to the inner side of the child’s glasses, if the child’s course of treatment requires improving the vision in one eye. It can be used as an alternative to adhesive eye patches if you haven’t had any success at getting them to work. Otherwise, the eye patch can be used in addition to adhesive eye patches, when you need to give your baby’s skin a break every now and again.

It is important that the fabric eye patch is only used after having consulted an eye doctor/orthoptist, as adhesive eye patches are often recommended by such professionals as the preferred form of treatment. Particularly for babies, it is vital to ensure an optimal a course of vision therapy treatment since vision development is most critical in the first years of life.

Shape and instructions

The eye patch from Kay Fun 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.

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.

The eye patches designed for babies are slightly different to eye patches for children, as the size of the attachment holes is smaller. The holes have been purposely designed like this, since this ensures better stability for the eye patch, given that babies can be more uneasy about vision therapy than older children.

Take a look at our ‘Guide for eye patches with glasses’ if you are interested in learning how to attach an eye patch to a pair of glasses.

Size

This eye patch for babies measures 10.5 cm x 5 cm (length x width). The length is long since the eye patch extends beyond the lens of the eye to also cover part of the leg of the glasses, thus covering the entire eye socket. This ensures that no light can penetrate the eye from the size.

The manufacturer of this eye patch recommends its use for babies 0-2 years. Take a look at our ‘Size Guide’.

Materials

The skin-safe eye patch from Kay Fun Patch is made from a fabric that is Oeko-Tex® certified hypoallergenic. It consists of layers of soft, cushioned, and breathable fabric. 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 this reason, the eye patch is comfortable to wear.

The eye patch sits tightly on the glasses due to the latex free elastic. The hole in baby glasses is smaller in order to provide added stability.

It can be hand-washed and subsequently air dried in order to ensure that it maintains its shape and appearance.

Environment

As the eye patch can be used time and time again for several months, it is argued to have a sustainable design, unlike alternatives, such as adhesive eye patches.

The actual fabric is manufactured, dyed, and cut in the United Kingdom. The process makes use of environmentally friendly methods and colours.

Some of the eye patches feature designs using glitter. Such designs are made using polyurethane, which is also a recyclable material.

Safety

The eye patches are safe to use. Nevertheless, we recommend keeping small children under supervision, especially since this can help to ensure that the eye patch is being worn correctly, achieving the best results from your baby’s vision therapy treatment. If baby child lifts the glasses off, or pushes them aside a little, it has a negative effect on vision training.

Additional

The product carries the CE-mark.

This is NOT a toy. Consult an orthoptist/eye doctor before use.

You can run the risk or negatively impacting a child’s sight if an eye patch is used on a child who does not need vision therapy.

Manufactured in England.

With this glasses charm from My Blinx, you can jazz up your glasses – the perfect way to stay in a great mood.

The charm is easy to slide on and off your glasses frame. We have a wide selection of charms for every occasion, so you can find the perfect one to match your mood, clothes, etc. It can help to make everyday life wearing glasses slightly easier for your children, if they get to customize their glasses with a fun and colourful charm from My Blinx.

Blinx glasses charms can be used on both children’s glasses and adults’ glasses. According to the manufacturer, they fit about 85% of all children’s glasses. They fit best on glasses with a wider frame rather than narrow frames, because on very narrow frames the charms may spin around the legs of the glasses. The legs should ideally be a maximum of 8 mm wide. If the legs of the glasses are wider than 8 mm, then the charms can be attached using the elastics included with the product.

Glasses charms from My Blinx can be used to encourage your child to wear glasses and make everyday life with glasses a little more fun. They can also be used as a prize to reward your child if they reach a goal you and your child have set, for example, regarding their vision therapy treatment.

They are made using a soft rubber.

The product is unsuitable for children under three years of age, since it contains small components, which may constitute a choking hazard.
