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.

While there is nothing wrong with the bandage, it's very sticky so you will rip hair out of your eyebrows, I personally don't prefer the eye bandage. I tried it and really don't like it. It doesn't really keep my eye closed, that's what I was looking for, but it does help a little when I'm in the shower, because I can't close my eye all the way. Bells Palsy sucks!

I was concerned because I am an adult and the picture on the box shows a child. But these patches work so well that I have already ordered more. I need them for post-eye surgery on an eye whose eyelid doesn’t fully close to keep dust out when I sleep. These work very well! The adhesive allows them to come off easily in the morning, but is strong enough to stay on all night. I have even repositioned several of them when I got them on "crooked" and was able to position them a second time, and they still stayed on all night. The price is extremely reasonable and they are a great value!!
