Eye Patches

About 10 months ago Abigail's eye doctor confirmed my suspicion about her eye and diagnosed her left eye as "lazy."

Her eye doctor instructed us to begin patching her good eye to force her weak eye to get stronger. We were told to patch her 2 hours each day. We tried our best to patch her, but we had difficulty with getting her to keep it on. 

Her doctor instructed me to literally put swim floats on her arms to stop her from pulling the patch off. Well I didn't care too much for that idea, not sure any moms would, so I did some research to find out which eye patch brands other moms liked. 

While doing my research I came across the Ortopad brand. It was highly recommended by other moms which I liked. I ordered a box and I was very pleased. The patches stay on a lot better than the brand we were previously using. The old ones just took one little tug and Abigail could pull them right off.  The Ortopad brand isn't easy for Abigail to remove but easy enough for an adult to take off.

I am very happy with the product. We have finally been able to get 2 hours each day with the patch on which never happened before. I recommend this product to any parents out there who are struggling with patching their child.   

Ortopad comes 50 in a box and they aren't real expensive. I order mine from Amazon. They even come in cute patterns. :)
