Ortopad® Bamboo Eye Patches for Girls, Medium Size, 50/Box

We got these patches for our toddler with strabismus in one of her eyes. Aside from her being somewhat resistant to having something over her eye at first, she loves these. The designs are fun and she likes to help pick out her patch, we let her use them as a “sticker” afterwards too! The adhesive isn’t too bad when taking it off- I believe it’s just right for adherence while patching but also takes a bit of pull- again, not excessive!

Upon receiving the product, I was impressed with the quality of the patches. Made with soft bamboo material, they are gentle on the skin and provide a comfortable fit for extended wear. The adhesive is strong enough to keep the patch in place, but also easy to remove without causing discomfort. One of the standout features of the Ortopad® Bamboo Girls Eye Patches is the fun and colorful designs. These patches are available in a variety of patterns and colors, making them a fun and stylish option for children who may be self-conscious about wearing an eye patch.

After reading other reviews, I have to agree that these patches truly do stick. The first time I put it on my daughter, I put it on her straight outta the package and that was a mistake. It stuck so tightly around her eye that she screamed and cried when I peeled it off. She had red marks on her face for hours. After reading more reviews, I’ve used the arm method, meaning that right outta the package, I put the patch on my arm, peal it off, put it back on my arm again and then peel it off. Then at that point, it’s not as sticky and I’m able to put it on my daughter’s eye. Sometimes that causes a corner to lift but luckily she has to wear glasses in addition to the patch, so the glasses stop it from completely lifting and from her messing with it. Once I figured the arm stickiness trick, I became super happy with these and have already bought multiple packs as she goes through at least 1 a day.

The patches work great for my 2 year old. However, delivery from Amazon has been a problem. First package was lost and the second arrived damaged with patches missing from the box. This is an Amazon issue, but still frustrating.

My then 2 year old, now 3 year old daughter’s eye drifts so her optometrist recommended putting on a patch every day for a couple hours each day, alternating the eyes each day. Let me tell you. 5 months in and my 3 year old still hates having to put it on but once it’s on she’s generally good about leaving it alone. The adhesive is very good yet doesn’t remove eyebrow hair (if accidentally placed on it) or skin when removed.
