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.
