At Speckles, we believe that every child's vision journey should be filled with fun, support, and quality care. Founded by an orthoptist, Speckles transforms children's eye care from a clinical experience into an engaging adventure.
Our collaboration with Disney brings beloved characters to life on our eye patches, making them a exciting part of treating amblyopia, or "Curious Eye" as we prefer to call it. Join us in our mission to provide early detection and effective treatment for children's vision health.
Patching, also known as occlusion therapy, is a common treatment method for the vision condition, Amblyopia. You may have heard of this being called 'Lazy eye', BUT here at Speckles we prefer the more encouraging term 'curious eye'.
With Amblyopia, vision loss occurs because one eye has clearer vision than the other and the brain begins to favour it, ignoring images from the ‘curious eye’. Due to this, the visual pathway between the ‘curious eye’ and the brain is unable to develop a strong and reliable connection, leading to underdevelopment.
Doctors prescribe wearing an eye patch or using eye drops to penalise the eye with clearer vision and give the 'curious eye' a competitive advantage. This allows its nerve connections to strengthen and develop, preventing vision loss. Watch the video for Maddy’s simple explainer on Amblyopia and some of its common causes or visit our eyeHUB to learn all things eye.
The hide & see patches are colourful and make children feel confident when wearing them out, when they know it is a necessity for them to have on for sometimes several hours.
Thank you for such a variety.
Love the fit and style of the sunglasses while also knowing my sons eyes are protected! The strap makes them very secure and they're tough enough to chuck in the nappy bag and go!
Easy to order and very quick delivery.
Great idea for little ones with eye problems. Comfortable to wear while making them feel special being able to choose their favourite characters.
This product is make more easy to use for the toddler, a lot of patterns can choose and I don’t have to worry my kids will take it off. She loves it too.
Our 4 month old was getting skin irritation from the adhesive on the hospital-provided patches. Since we’ve been using the Speckles patches her skin is so much better and she has no more crying with application or removal. We’re very happy and will continue using them.
Loved the designs and daughter finds them easy to use .
Amazing eye patch my daughter loves the patterns
My geanddaughter refuses to wear anything but the fantasy patches
We absolutely love these! Durable, light and perfect size for our 5 months old! I hope they last him a while ☺️
Best customer service, cutest baby sunnies ever! Recommended Speckles without hesitation!
I’d absolutely love to review these sunglasses… if they hadn’t been reviewed first by our dog. The postie left the parcel in the yard and our puppy confidently decided they were not for children, but for chewing. 🐶😎
Order was processed and delivered lightning fast — sadly faster than my precious granddaughter could get to them. Five stars for delivery, zero stars from the dog (he ate the evidence).
So great! Great colour, great size, great fit!
Fit great, so lightweight and our little dude is much more comfortable with the glare. Looks cute as too!
These patches are amazing. We tried a different brand initially which left my daughter with a graze. The Speckles patches are gentle on the skin and don’t hurt when removing.
My daughter also loves the pictures and doesn’t get upset when having to put one on.
The reward chart is also a great incentive and makes patching that much easier
Apart from being very stylish, they’re a great fit. Our Bub isn’t irritated by them at all and loves having them on.
Here at Speckles, we're passionate about changing the narrative on patching from being boring and clinical to FUN and EMPOWERING!!!
To help keep you and your little one sane and entertained during patch time, each week we create cooking and craft videos for kids to follow along. They can whip up a tasty batch of bliss balls to pop in their lunch box or learn how to paint a beautiful butterfly.
You can find our patch-time activities on our Instagram Reels, Youtube and Facebook .
