| Patch Pals,
I just wanted to send a photo of my son in his patch. I am impressed with the way that it fits and looks. My son has been very emotional about having to wear a patch but having his favorite characters on it has helped. And he was so excited that you sent him a free bracelet as well!
Thanks again,
Jessica B.

Thank you for sending a variety of sparkle patches for Zoe to try the last time we ordered. Mrs. Thompson had talked them up! Zoe was interviewed for IowaKidsight back in the fall. We made sure to talk about Patch Pals and how that totally changed patching for Zoe. I encouraged them to put together resources for parents that would include your information. Zoe was 2200 in her weak eye when diagnosed at 3 years old. Thanks to patching with your soft, fun patches, she is now better than 20/20 with her glasses. She is a patching success story! We are in the maintenance phase now and very grateful to your company for making the process easier. Zoe just took her PatchPal lovie that she's had for years to her last eye appointment! Thank you!

I wanted to thank Patch Pals for making patching so much easier than I thought. We found out my son needed to patch on a Wednesday-ordered his patches the next day and it came in the mail by Saturday. I was impressed by the patch selection and the other items (shirts and super patcher ) to get my son excited to patch since he is the only child we know that does. He is very proud of his ninja turtle patches and explains to everyone who asks why he wears it. He was especially impressed with the brochure that came in the package showing tons of kids patching. This was new territory for us and your company made it so much easier.
Thank you
Maria, Ritchie and our super patcher Jackson Scott

The happiest kid on the planet is in our house today. He knocked it out of the park at his vision check yesterday and he is FINALLY done patching. He's seeing 20/20 corrected in both eyes. With Amblyopia there's always a chance is vision could slip in the future and he may have to go back to patching for a bit, but we'll cross that bridge if we get there... Today we're celebrating.
P.s. August is Amblyopia awareness month. Amblyopia is a fairly common condition that affects 1 in 40 children. Have you taken your child in for a complete eye exam yet? If not, please do it! Carter never complained about trouble seeing and we only discovered there was an issue at his first routine exam. -Mitzie K.

So you might not know, but Her Unstoppableness has been patching for about a year now—two hours a day, every day. We're patching her left, or dominant, eye in order to retrain her brain to use her right eye, which it had basically stopped using before she got glasses because the astigmatism made it all but useless. When we got glasses, it went from terrible to 20/70 in a month. After patching for just two months, it was 20/40. And it has been stuck there for a loooong time. But at her patch check today, it was finally a solid 20/30 and *almost* a 20/25 with the glasses. And with both eyes together, she's finally at 20/20 in her glasses. Oh, and bonus: now she has depth perception. THANK YOU MODERN MEDICINE AND PATCH PALS!

I wish I would have discovered patchpals.com years ago. Neatest little invention. I have spent $100s of dollars on sticky patches over the years for Brooke and Aly. They hurt their face and are not reusable (which of course I hate.) $14 shipped for this amazingly simple little gadget and we have a patch for life. It keeps out almost all light and has side parts so she can't cheat. They come in all kinds of colors and prints. They even sent a cute little kid sized bracelet that says, "patch power." -Couldn't be happier and Aly loves it too! - Blair S.

We have had a very positive experience with a Patch Pals eye patch. It is a soft felt pocket that slips over the frame and lens and my son picked out the color and decal. The reward chart is probably the real incentive, but it helps him to have his patch comfortable. We also got a t-shirt from them that says, "Patching makes my eye strong," for when we are out and about, and they also sent a certificate of belonging to the "Patch Pals Club" with pictures of other children patching. -Karen J.

He became a patch pal in January of this year when routine school screenings suggested that he have an exam. The exam found that his right eye was significantly weaker. He was very faithful with an hour a day of patch pal time, aided by the computer activities on your website and at his exam two months later he had made 50% progress towards correcting his vision! We are very encouraged and thankful that you've made this a fun positive process.~Peter Lowe

Hi, I ordered a patch from your website for my 5 year old boy Advay. Here is a picture of him wearing the patch - he loves it because its so bright and so cool! He uses adhesive patches most of the time because its easiest for us to ensure his vision is blocked for certain when he is away from home , with those. But I love this patch, first because I do not have to be extra careful with wiping the adhesive remnants off after taking the patch off, and second because during holidays, I patch in discontinuous mode and this is a much more economical solution, as opposed to using up 2-3 patches a day.Somehow, Advay's frame always becomes loose and starts sliding down his nose (and so brings the patch down with it) after every few months and so I am unable to use this patch as the only solution for his patching needs. But I totally love the product and highly recommend it for any kid who needs to patch.
Thank you,
Aarti
A little over a year ago are daughter was diagnosed with amblyopia. Patching as a struggle. She also has ADHD and she fought patching in a huge way. Due to family issues going on, we slacked on it, just didn't have the strength to be consistent with it. Recently her glasses broke and not being able to find the prescription, I took her back in to see her pediatric ophthalmologist. Her lazy eye had gotten worse and her strong eye which used to have perfect vision also is not so perfect anymore. So it was highly recommended that she patch 3-4 hours a day as she is reaching that age where if we don't patch then it won't be effective. She started to argue it so her doctor told her it was either patch or we put eye drops into her strong eye 3 times a week. She hates having her eyes dilated so she promised she'd patch. It's actually going great this time and it's only been a week. She's even willing to patch in school a few days a week if I go in and talk to her class about it. Today her new glasses came in and she was excited to use one of her Patch Pals patches instead of the adhesive ones. Just look at her smile! - Kathryn R.

| Thanks Patch Pals! She loves her patch so much that she insisted on wearing it immediately after it came in (even though we had already done patch time)! She ran around doing pirouettes and asserting that she was a pirate ballerina! -Katie C.

Thanks for all the help and advice with the patching. My daughter's patch came in today (Patch Pals) . She was excited because she picked Rapunzel. She's supposed to wear it for an hour a day. She did 50 minutes, which I thought was great for the first time. We were playing play dough together, but I had to get up to make dinner. Otherwise, I think she would have kept it on. -Heather L.

Thank you so much!!! You have made this process much easier. We just found out Tuesday, that Caroline had to wear an eye patch 24/7! Our only option was the adhesive ones, which have required a lot of bribes, junk food and crying (on mommy and daddy too). You should be in all doctor's offices!!!
I love your website. I was able to read your story to Caroline to help motivate her! Caroline enjoys seeing all the other kids that wear patches. Thank you again for sharing your story and helping us parents too with all the extra information!
"Mom, I just absolutely LOVE them! Who made these for me!" I never thought I would ever hear excitement associated with patching!
So blessed to have found you!

Elliot is 3, been patching for 7 months, she does it Monday-Friday 8 hours with weekends off. Doing this instead of 4-5 hours a day 7 days a week gives her a break and also a reward for wearing it more each day. 7 months ago I thought this would be a daily battle however it's been easy with no struggle...good luck to all patchpal parents. - Amy H
|
| Thank you Patch Pals Club Tanner got his patch today, and not only is it much more comfortable, it provides better coverage than the patch the eye doctor gave us to use. Patching isn't such a fight anymore.

Hello. I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with your Patch Pals. My six year old son got glasses in the beginning of the year. His right eye is perfect his left eye is bad so they want him to strengthen his bad eye. They gave him these bandaid type patches and he hates them. He read a story in school about a magical fish that grants wishes. I asked him after if he had one wish what would it be. He said it's stupid mom but i would wish to never wear my glasses again. It broke my heart!! I got online and found your website and was so excited when I seen the ninja turtles. His favorite is the orange one so I ordered that. It was the best $14 I ever spent. He was so excited to wear it and I love how it fully covers his right eye including the side. Then I seen the bracelet and was even more surprised. He hasn't taken it off. I have attached a picture of him in his Patch Pal. Again thank you so much!!

| Here's my sweet girl Carly Rose sporting her Frozen sisters patch. She was ready for her first field day in kindergarten. She patches all day to get her eye muscles stronger and to improve her vision and finding these patches have made a world of difference for us. She loves them and we can't thank you enough!!
|
|
| I would also HIGHLY recommend Patch Pals for patching, they are comfortable felt patches that slide over the glasses vs the sticky ones. The sticky ones used to hurt my son and cause welts! Here's a pic of one of our patch pals, my son LOVES them!

| Hi Patch Pals, Thanks so much for the wonderful eye patches you have available for children and adults.

Hello, My name is Sebastian 'Jack' Burgess of Richmond VA and today I received your adult poggle patch in black. It is hands down the most comfortable patch I've worn, and a great value. Thank you.

Your patches made it so easy for our daughter to adjust to wearing them. Thank you so much, love all the cute options for her outfits to keep her stylin'! In less than 2 months she has gone from 4 hours a day to 2 hours a day since they are so easy for her to wear!
Any friends out there with children who are patching? Before you use those painful oversized bandaids, that tug, and hurt when you take them off, please give this a try. Already using those nasty painful things? Stop it! And look here. These saved us so much headaches, and even made Patching fun, yes I said patching FUN! Plus for the price of one of those boxes, you can buy one of these, and reuse it, over, and over, and over! Makes sense. A happy patcher will patch, if it is not painful, and it can be fun. We have like 15 maybe more, we matched Livs outfits, or her mood, after like the 3rd day, she was putting them on herself, and not fighting me over time, she even wore them out, and to school! And it was a success, she no longer needs to patch, all thanks to these little things. - Andrea Moore
Thank you for the awesome eye patches! A new member to the Patch Pals Club! We just completed day 2 and have some more patches on order. - Jess H.
Thank you. My son, Kai, loves his pirate patch!

Hello,
I just wanted to say thank you for the great patches my daughter received! I can't believe how fast you shipped them out and she was so excited to receive the free bracelet as a gift. She is not even three yet so it was great to be able to let her be involved with the process of picking out her patches to get her excited to wear them. She chose Frozen and Spiderman and keeps talking about her "cool patches to help my eyes be stronger". I attached a picture of Cheyenne. Thank you again! -Valerie
