3M Opticlude Orthoptic Eye Patch - Maxi / Regular 5.7cm x 8.2cm Pack of 20 (1539)

The 3M Opticlude Orthoptic Regular Eye Patch, measuring 5.7cm x 8cm, is specifically engineered for effective vision-occlusive therapy in pediatric patients. It is designed for the treatment of common childhood eye conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, often referred to as “lazy eye”. By occluding the preferred eye, this patch encourages the weaker eye to develop and function properly, supporting prescribed visual therapy programs.

Each patch features a soft, non-adherent pad that effectively shields the eye from light and prevents secretions from sticking to the pad. The backing is highly breathable and made from a non-woven microporous material, allowing the skin to breathe and function normally. An extra-gentle, hypoallergenic adhesive ensures secure adherence while minimizing skin irritation and allowing for easy removal, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The patches are latex-free, further reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

These orthoptic eye patches are designed to fit comfortably behind glasses and permit free movement of the eyelid, ensuring comfort during extended wear. They are supplied in a convenient pack of 20 patches, facilitating consistent adherence to therapy. The product carries CE marking and is listed as a Class 1 medical device by the FDA, affirming its compliance with regulatory standards.
