Curad Eye Patch, Non-Woven (Paper), 2 1/4 Inches X 3 1/8, Inches, 20 Count

Our son has amblyopia and must be patched 4 hours per day. The first patch we used was from a set of free samples that the doctor gave us. They had a beige colored cloth backing and the adhesive irritated his skin terribly. They were very difficult to remove as well. The next type we tried were NexCare. They had a paper backing, were much easier to remove, and did not irritate his skin. When I went to the store to get a new box, they only had the Curad brand. These are even better than the NexCare. They are so much easier to remove that my son asks for them specifically by brand name. The NexCare adhere a little bit better, but since he doesn't pick at the edges, it's not a problem. Anyone who has trouble with irritating adhesive can try a light layer of Pepto Bismol or Calamine (NOT Caladryl) lotion. ---- An additional note: we had to start patching our daughter as well. Because she sweats more than her brother, the Curad patches were falling off. We found that the Nexcare stay in place for her, so we have his and her brands for patches now.

Just like the eye patches I had to wear as a kid. Nothing's changed. Simple and functional. I'm wearing over my right eye from time to time because my left has gotten lazy and needs to work harder so that it doesn't drift off to the left. I'm not sure that these will help my issue but they stick , but are not so sticky as to pull your eyebrows or hurt when it's time to tear them off. They are not too large...they could fit both adult and child.

Very good protection

Good quality

I'm have severe dry eyes. I wear these at night after putting in eye drops. These are the same brand I wore when I was a baby and they thought I had lazy eye and my preferred adhesive patch. Other brands I've tried, particularly nexcare, are very painful to take off, but not these (unless they are on your eyebrows, a bit painful there). They are really good for locking in moisture. The only downside is they don't stay on me all night. If I wear just this patch while asleep, it will have fallen off during the night. I use a pirate style eye patch on top to keep it in place and that does the trick.
