Eye patch recommendations

Hi all
My daughter (age 4) has been instructed to wear eye patches for 2 hours daily.
Has anyone experience of these and can share some tips?

Are any brands better than others in terms of skin irritation or comfort? And of course - fun pictures!
thank you

My daughter had these when she was little . We always used the ones provided by the hospital- lots of fun designs and she had no problems and a good outcome. I think the brand was ortopad. Hope your daughter gets on ok with them too.

It's been quite a few years now since we used them! For sticky patches the ones from the hospital were fine, they always gave us a pile with different designs.

However, DS hated having adhesive on his face so we switched to cloth patches on his glasses. Like these:
