So you don&#8217;t have to go anywhere.

Would you like more information about eye patches and to ask questions of people who wear them regularly? Then join us for this interactive session on <strong>Tuesday, February 25, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.<\/strong> This session may also be of interest to parents of children who see with one eye.   <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After all, when might you need an eye patch?<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first 6 weeks after an eye removal surgery.<\/li>\n<li>If you experience discomfort from light entering the affected eye.<\/li>\n<li>If your vision is impaired to the point that you see double or notice spots.<\/li>\n<li>If the affected eye does not look good cosmetically.  <\/li>\n<li>If you are experiencing (temporary) difficulties wearing an ocular prosthesis.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;d rather not wear an eye prosthesis at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(<strong>Inter)active meeting <\/strong> <\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you sign up, you\u2019ll receive a set of special fabrics (to look at and feel) that are suitable for making eye masks.

When you register, we assume you\u2019ll be attending. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, you\u2019re unable to attend at the last minute, please let us know by <a href=\"mailto:info@ver-ooginoog.nl\">emailing info@ver-ooginoog.nl<\/a>. That way, we won\u2019t be waiting for participants in vain.     <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zoom User Guide<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you participate in the online session, you\u2019ll receive a helpful guide in advance.
