Meet our Patchers

Ryker is 11 months and has been patching for about 9 months now due to his Strabismus, a condition in which the eyes don’t point in the same direction at the same time.

Matilda is nearly 2 and has been patching since she was 18 months old due to outward turns (exotropia) in both her eyes. Her mum pops a patch on each eye, alternating days for 2 hours a day to improve her Amblyopia. After the initial 3 months of doing patch therapy, Matilda's...

Eliana is 5 years old and has been wearing Speckles patches on and off for 2 hours a day for almost a year. She has a slight turn in her eye due to Strabismus and patches to help strengthen her "curious eye" 👀

Jax is 3 years old and patches 2 hours a day to strengthen his left eye after having an eye injury at 12 months old. Jax likes to wear his patches early in the morning while he is having breakfast and morning babycino ☺️ as this is a little distraction for him......

Henry is three, lives in 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦 and patches six hours a day to strengthen his 'curious' eye. Since starting occlusion therapy a month ago, his doctor has seen significant improvement in his vision, exactly what we LOVE to hear at Speckles ❤️

This tiny patcher, Hazel Milan, is 6 months old and only started patching in June 2022 ❤️ Hazel has strabismus in her left eye that will most likely need surgery later this year. Her mum, Lucy pops her patch on for 1 hour a day so her curious eye grows strong 👏

Lillian is 5 years old and patches 2 to 4 hours a day to treat her Amblyopia. Her mum, Vien was worried she would resist patching but found encouraging her to collect the patches and pop them on the Speckles poster was a perfect motivation.
