Does anyone else use patches? My DS has suddenly had an allergic reaction to coverlet. Any ideas?

there are a few different makes of patches, give your eye unit a ring they should swap them over for you. Think we might have swapped to opticlude but that was a few years back, having trouble remembering!

Thanks, have tried those ones previously and they were worse...couldn't remember the name. I'm not aware of any more brands offered by nhs but will check again. They are very expensive to buy which is annoying. All SN stuff is extortionate :(

does he wear glasses? You can make those things that go over them if he does.

Thanks so much ninja, they look great. I should probably check with eye doctors first though as they don't look quite a robust as the adhesive patches.
