With an eye patch, you can blink freely, and the eye area feels comfortable. A handmade eye patch with a slight curve ensures that your eyelashes don’t touch the patch. This keeps the eye area clean, dry, and comfortable.
An eye patch serves more purposes than just covering the eye:
• It protects against dust, wind, and bright light.
• It provides cosmetic coverage, which can boost self-confidence in social situations.
• It helps reduce irritation or tension around the eye.
• It helps with double vision and when people are bothered by glare.
An eye patch should be comfortable to wear. A custom-made eye patch is often more comfortable because it fits your face and the shape of your eye socket perfectly.
Please note:
• Fastening: Do you prefer an elastic band around the head or a soft strap behind the ears?
• Size: An eye patch that’s too small won’t cover the eye properly, while one that’s too large may slip. Therefore, measure the area around the eye or ask the supplier for advice.
• Material: breathable mesh, soft suede, or sturdy leather—each material has its own advantages.
You can buy eye patches at the pharmacy or at specialty stores such as the Eye Patch Shop. The latter makes handmade, custom-fit eye patches tailored to your face shape and eye (left or right).
You can also check out general online stores such as Ooglapjes.nl, which offers eye patches for medical use, with free shipping in the Netherlands and fast delivery.
Are you using an eye patch for medical treatment, such as for a lazy eye (amblyopia) or after surgery? If so, always consult your ophthalmologist, ocularist, or orthoptist. They can advise you on which type of eye patch is best suited to your situation.
