Unlock the full potential of your patching journey with our specially designed light blocking pad! Our three-layer technology ensures maximum light blocking for the most effective results when following a prescribed treatment plan.
The more you rub, the stronger the stick! With our smart adhesive technology, you can tailor the level of stick with our patches to meet your child's needs based on hours of wear, skin sensitivity and use in different climates. So if on a humid tropical holiday, rub the patch a little more onto the skin when applying. And the best part, they are just as gentle on removal when you need to say bye bye!
Your child's comfort is our top priority! Our patches are crafted with a soft and breathable non-woven material that will hug your child's face like a gentle breeze, making patching sessions as comfortable as can be. No more tears or discomfort, just a happy, relaxed child ready to see the world in a whole new way!
Say goodbye to uncomfortable and irritating patches! With our patches, you don't have to worry about any skin reactions. Our latex-free formula is specially designed to be gentle on even the most sensitive skin. Whether your child has sensitive skin or simply hates the feel of traditional patches, our patches are the perfect solution.
You see, we know that patching can be a bit of a drag, especially for kids who just want to run and play without having to deal with a pesky patch on their eye. But that's where we come in! We're on a mission to make patching as fun and painless as possible, with our eye-catching range of colorful, comfy, and effective eye patches.
We're not just a company, we're a community of curious eyes, rebels, and jokers who want to change the narrative of what it means to patch. Our founder, Maddy, is an Orthoptist with over a decade of experience in the eye world, and she's combined her passion and expertise to create a brand that kids and parents can trust.
We believe that patching should be a fun and exciting journey, not a daunting task. That's why we offer information and support along the way, as well as resources and activities that are sure to put a smile on your face.
So, are you ready to embark on a patching adventure that's a blast? Let's get stuck on this journey together!
With Amblyopia, commonly called 'Lazy eye', BUT here at Speckles we prefer the more encouraging term 'curious eye'.
Vision loss happens because the brain favours the eye with stronger vision and basically ignores images from the eye with poor vision. Therefore the 'Curious eye' and the brain are unable to develop a strong and reliable connection via the nerve fibres that travel from the eye to the brain, known as the visual pathway, resulting in the underdevelopment of the visual pathway.
To treat Amblyopia, most doctors recommend the use of patching or eye drops. This is known as occlusion therapy, where the eye with stronger vision is penalised with the use of patches or eye drops, to give the 'curious eye' a competitive advantage and allow its nerve connections, from the eye to the brain (visual pathway), to strengthen and develop and therefore improve the eyes vision.
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 .
