6pcs Eye Patch for Glasses to Treat Lazy Eye/Amblyopia/Strabismus,Black

I bought these eye patches because of a problem with a nerve that controls my left eye movement which resulted in double vision. I went to the emergency room at the pre-eminent eye hospital in my region of the country and they gave me a regular "pirate" style eye patch to wear. This helped with the double vision, but it didn't allow my glasses, which I need to see well out of my good eye, to sit squarely or comfortably on my face. I had real troubles reading, doing things on my computer and even watching TV.Figuring there had to be a better product out there, I looked to Amazon and found these patches. Since they were under ten bucks so I thought I'd give them a try. Well, I'm glad I did! These patches are totally opaque and black, blocking all light and are designed to cover not only the lens of your glasses, but they also wrap around the side. The ones I got extend far enough above and below the lens on my glasses that they block nearly all light coming into that eye. There's only a narrow strip of light above and below.The patches are light-weight and they don't bother my eyelashes, so they're very comfortable.Two things to be aware of: First, there weren't any instructions included and it took me a few minutes to figure out how the things went on my glasses. I have wire-rimmed glasses and needed to cut a small slit on the inside of the patch to fit around the little prong that holds the nose-rest. This wasn't hard to do, but instructions would have helped. Second, one of the pictures on the product page says it comes in two sizes. The product description didn't say what size these were, there was no drop-down selector to choose a size and there was no size designation on the package I received, so I don't have a clue whether I got the regular or large ones. I suspect they're the regular size but I have no way of knowing for sure. Whatever, I would guess that the ones I got would cover glasses up to the size of the roundish lensed, plastic rimmed ones.Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product. For the price, you can't go wrong.

I bought these when my vision in my left eye failed me due to a detached retina and I needed something to cover my eye and keep out the little bit of light that I could still sense. These did the job quite well and were fairly comfortable to boot. Now, they aren't perfect. After a few hours the material they are made of gets a little itchy and they require a little figuring to get on your glasses, but they are leaps and bounds better than a standard eyepatch, and the company sends you a ton of them!

I like the two sizes for regular glasses and sunglasses. I feel much better going out in public without the pirate patch I was given at the hospital. Easy to use once I went back to the website and figured out how to attach them to my glasses. I had to enlarge the slit to acommodate the size of the "arms" on my reading glasses - no problem. I am very pleased with them so far - here's hoping I won't need them forever.

The product covered my glasses well, and is a good solution for that purpose. The hole for the glasses stem is small, but that's easily solved with a scissors. However, it does NOT completely blackout an eye which I find necessary for seeing clearly from the other eye. Usable, but not great.

Certain elements of a three-part series that are recommended were definitely helpful.

I have double vision when I'm driving and sometimes when I'm viewing things from a certain distance. I sit in the back of the church so the sound of my oxygen machine doesn't disturb other worshippers, and that happens to be the distance where I have double vision. Using the patch, I cover my weakest eye to eliminate the double vision and keep me using my strongest eye for the best vision. It's convenient to have several of each of two sizes. I usually use the patch only when driving and in church, and since I don't drive at night, I don't always remember to put the patch on when I'm riding with someone else. I keep one in my purse so I always have it when I need it.

I have used these patches before to cover one of my eye glass lenses . I am mostly blind in one eye because of a medical error and can only see a small bit of distorted light. Sometimes it is better to block out the light and only use binocular vision in the good eye. These patches work great and are very reasonable in price. One thing that should be noted in the description of the product is that the patches come in two different sizes which help depending on the size of the your eye glass lens. If it wasn't for one customer's review that states that, you would not know this fact.
