Patching with the
sticky patch can get quite expensive. A box of 20 usually sells
for approximately $7.00/box and would cost $63-$126 dollars easily
in six months if a patient used only one to two patches a day (many
patients use more due to non-compliance and getting the patch wet
etc…). The pirate patch is usually inexpensive but does not fit
well under their glasses and is easy to “peek” without being noticed.
"Foils" and "taping" the lens can work, however, many children will
peek over the top of their glasses. The design of the Framehuggers
patches will normally last much longer. We custom make
each patch to your glasses specific dimensions. It occludes all
peripheral vision (so the glasses would need to be removed
to peek). It also can clue mom and dad in when their child has tried
to removed the patch because the child usually will not secure the
Velcro as straight or tight. The patch can not slide to the
side without removing the glasses and lifting the Velcro straps;
which also helps insure that no quick peeking is occurring. The
patch is great for those adults who need occlusion for cosmetic
and/or protective coverage and Framehuggers patches are comfortable!
We make the patch available in most colors and all sizes.
