Eye Occlusion - Orthoptic Eye Patches

3M™ Opticlude ™ Orthoptic Eye Patches
Opticlude orthoptic eye patches provide a comfortable solution to childhood strabismus and amblyopia. These conditions are also referred to as a squint, lazy eye or cross eye. Worn over the preferred eye, the Opticlude eye patch encourages the weaker eye to function.

Eye Patch Products include:

• Opticlude Junior eye patch (6.3 x 4.7 cm oval)
• Opticlude Standard eye patch (8.2 x 5.6 cm oval)

3M™ Opticlude ™ Eye Patch Features & Benefits

• Skin friendly non-woven microporous backing allows the skin to breathe
• The hypoallergenic adhesive is gentle to the skin, reducing the risk of skin irritation
• The eye patch can be applied and removed easily with minimal skin trauma
• The central non-adherent pad is absorbent and prevents lacrimal secretions sticking the pad to the surrounding skin
• Opticlude eye patches and their packaging are latex free
