My DD is three, and we started having to patch her eye about a week ago to help with a squint. She's generally being pretty good about it, apart from being a bit more teary but I think that's to be expected initially as she's basically having her good vision taken away from her. The patch is on 3 hours a day.
My concern is the adhesive seems really sticky and it seems to really hurt her when it comes off. Her face remains red for a couple of hours afterwards. It didn't seem that bad the first day when the opthalmologist did it, so I wander if it's a technique thing? I am concerned that her face is going to get more and more sore, and getting her to wear it will become more of a battle.
The patches say they are allergen free and designed for sensitive skin. Has anyone got any tips to make it hurt her face less?
