Stick on eye patches - where to buy?

My son has a lazy eye and needs patches. I've been using the ones supplied by the orthoptist which are called Coverlet eye patches. They stick on, and I stick on a new sticker every day, he seems happy with that though he complains that he does not see well with them on. I'm running out of patches now. Does anyone know whether they (or anything similar) are available to buy from Boots or any online pharmacy?

My son did this until recently. I never had to buy them - the orthoptist always kept me in good supply.

call the orthoptic department and arrange to pick more up - thats what I did when dd was running out of them.

Thank you, I'll ask for more from the department. I've looked on the internet but they don't seem to be on sale here in the UK.
