Pro-Eye Patch--Plastic Front Black Eye Patch (1)

I love this patch! I've needed to wear an eye patch a lot since losing my eye in 2002. Other eye patches (Walgreens, Wal-Mart, and local pharmacy) I've used are way too tight when you first open up the package. I also don't like that they have a point, or that they look like a cone covering my eye. My most recent patch before this one also came from the internet. This one was great because it was adjustable (you string the elastic through the holes and tie little knots in front, but I don't like being able to see the little knots) and it is made out of a rubberized type material, maybe silicone? This was nice because there was no longer a cone or point poking out. This is nice, too, because you could wear it underneath glasses. The downside with that patch is that it got hot and steamy under there. Who knew your eye could sweat, right?! This patch it awesome because it using the same concept of being adjustable, but the knots are underneath the patch and behind some foam that's underneath. The foam keeps the knots from rubbing against your head. This is the most comfortable patch there is, I'm convinced. It is nice and smooth so there is no point. I haven't tried, but I'm pretty sure it would fit under glasses. It also doesn't get hot underneath because the foam keeps it from laying flat against your face. At certain angles, you can see the grey foam underneath, which I don't really like, but this patch is so much better than any other that I've used that I'm willing to overlook this one flaw. Buy this one, you won't regret it! After trying this one and discovering its greatness, I turned around and bought 2 more.*** The eye patch is adjustable, but it doesn't appear that way at first. When looking at the eye patch, foam-side up, the knot on the upper right side is the adjustable one. It's actually glued in place under the foam. I just opened a new patch and I'd forgotten this was my experience the first time I opened a package. You have to kind of work the knot away from the glue a little. It may seem like you'll ruin the patch, but you won't. Just move the foam a little away from the knot and pull on the knot. It will give away after a few tugs. Once it does, you adjust it to the size you like by making a new knot and cutting the excess off. The new knot will rest under the foam and you won't feel anything.It's a bit frustrating that there were no instructions with the patch, but now that I know the tricks, I love this patch! Give it a try, it was a game changer for me!

This is a decent, though not great product. Considering the price, it's a decent deal. Compared to the 'cone' shaped patches that are commonly found in the drugstores, this one has a smooth curved surface.Around the back edge of the patch is a ring of foam that is what presses against your skin. It's a bit hard in my opinion, but not terrible.The worst part of the product is the thin elastic. It seems like it won't last very long, and it leaves a visible impression on my forehead when I remove the patch.It does clear the eyelid/lashes just find, so you can relax and have the covered eye open underneath, and it does a good job of keeping the light out (at least for my particular face).

I've worn a patch for twenty years. (I finally recognized the prosthesis scam for what it is. A prosthetic eye is not like dentures: it doesn't work like the original!) This is the best patch you can buy as a consumer. This patch is comfortable, adjustable, and fairly durable. (As a hint for those I've seen wearing ratty patches: you wear this patch next to your skin and it can't be effectively cleaned so it is also *disposable*.) No other patch on the market is suited to service more demanding than that of a Halloween costume, although of course this patch is the best at that task as well. If you wear a patch, do yourself a favor and wear this one.

I got this for my husband who has brain tumor that was pressing his optic nerve and restricting movement on his left eye. Because of this problem, he has double vision. While he was waiting for the surgery, he had to have eye patch, so that he doesn't see double.* Elastic broke - Well, laterally first time he put this on, elastic broke, so I had to sew them back on. If I bought it from the local store, I would have run to the store and exchange, but I got it from Amazon and I couldn't wait for exchange. (no time for that)* It's too thick. - When he was wearing this, there is no way to wear his glasses. Around inside edge of the patch has rather thick sponge that pushes the patch too far out, even if he can get his glasses over this patch, he can't see too well.* Doesn't cover the eye well. - When he wear this patch, it doesn't sit well on his face and doesn't cover his eye well. He said light coming through gap between the patch and his skin, it actually irritate his eye more and his eye to tear.I ended up buying one from the Walgreen (the kind that is flat-no cushion inside of patch kind), so he could use it while waiting for the surgery.I should have return this immediately after I received. However, under the circumstances, I didn't have a mind set to call Amazon and package this up for return or refund. So, this was totally waste of money, time and create more aggravation.NOT recommend this.
