Eye Patches

Postby Richard In Wales » Sun 25 Apr 2010 2:53 pm

Looking for a decent eye patch, all I can find is them fancy dress ones. Got one from Lloyd Chemists but its way to small and sits on the eye not over it.

Done the Google thing but going round in circles.

Any personal recommendations.

I reckon these people are pretty good. They sell eyepatches and eye shields

I re use and sterilise the plasic shields from the hospital but they don't block out any light, ordering from the States has the disadvantage of shipping costs, my husband found some on ebay a while abck for me from the uk but we never chased them up, I will ask him later on adn let you know as my local pharmacist found me some but they were tiny and useless x
