How to attach our patches
All our patches are symmetrical in shape and fit most types of glasses frames with or without nose pieces. Each patch attaches with elastic straps, and/or button holes, depending on the patch and the glasses.
Most patterned patches work either way up. Fun Patches with the pirate design are the exception. They are sold for each eye separately.

Picture search for amblyopia therapy
Try giving these picture searches to your patients undergoing patching treatment.
They are aimed at pre-school children and differentiated by visual difficulty in size, complexity and contrast levels. Each level includes two or three stages, so improvement can be monitored with time. At the beginning of each stage, there is a matching frame which shows the toys we have hidden.
The Fun Picture Searches can be printed but are best viewed on a PC or tablet where the images can be zoomed in or out to adjust the size to suit. They can also be repeated and increased in difficulty by zooming out.
