Glasses Fun Patches

We offer 4 sizes of patches for glasses wearers. For an overview of all sizes, and to ensure the patch you choose will provide the correct fit, have a look at our Size Guide. All our patches can be adjusted when worn to achieve the best possible fit.

The patch fits inside the glasses frame. It has three buttonholes and an elastic strap to attach at the side and through the nose piece, if there is one, or by the elastic if not. For full details please see the instructions.

Our Glasses Fun Patches are made from soft, Oeko-Tex® certified materials that are hypoallergenic, so you can be confident of using them on sensitive skin. The elastic is latex-free and is made from nylon and elastane.

The layers of fabric are breathable and comfortable on the skin. The inner black layer is 100% cotton which ensures comfort against the skin and absorbs or wicks away any moisture.

Yes, they are. The Glasses Fun Patches should be hand washed with mild detergent in cool water and air dried to maintain their shape and appearance. We recommend to hand wash them regularly.

All our Glasses Fun Patches are symmetrical in shape and can be worn on the right or left eye. Most pattern designs are suitable for either eye. However, some Pirate & Glitter Fun Patches have right or left eye options. When selecting a patch that has a right or left eye option you need to choose a patch for the eye you wish to cover.

Ensure the patch fits snugly against the eye by adjusting the position if necessary, so there are no places to peep. Correctly fitting glasses are essential to keep the patch in place. If the glasses slip down the nose, so will the patch. You can use glasses retainers around the head or behind the ears. Also, make sure that the elastic strip covers the single buttonhole again after inserting the nose piece.

Yes, the patch is easily removed and re-fitted to different frames.

We offer plain and discretely coloured eye patches for adults with and without glasses here.
Our fun, patterned adult-size patches can be purchased from the Ideal Eye Patch Shop online.

Eye Fun Patches

Our Eye Fun Patches are made from Oeko-Tex® certified materials, so you can be confident of using them on sensitive skin, unless a child has an allergy to polyester (thread) or cotton fabric. The elastic is latex-free and is made from nylon and elastane.

The layers of fabric are breathable and comfortable on the skin. The inner black layer is 100% cotton and ensures comfort against the skin as well as absorbing or wicking away any moisture.

Our Eye Patches are packaged in a RPET (Recycled-Polyethylene-Terephthalate) box. This material has a low carbon footprint, is recyclable and has strong environmental credentials. The box is ideal for storing the patch in between uses.

Our Eye Fun Patches are 7cm by 5.5cm with the tip of the cone approximately 2cm away from the eye. The elastic for around the head is 35cm long and stretches to over twice that length.

It is possible to wear an Eye Fun Patches under the glasses if there is enough distance between the eye patch and the back of the lens.

You can also wear an eye patch over glasses; however, the patch might be less effective as an occlude.

Yes, they are. The Eye Fun Patches should be hand washed with mild detergent in cool water and air dried to maintain their shape and appearance. We recommend to hand wash them regularly.

Ensure the patch is comfortable and fits snugly against the eye by adjusting the position if necessary, so there are no places to peep.

All our Eye Fun Patches can be used on either eye equally well.

Yes they are, but we recommend that young children are supervised while wearing our Eye Fun Patches. As with headbands and other elasticated head wear, the patch could be pulled down so that it hangs around their neck.

This does not present any immediate danger, since the elastic is loose. However, there is a potential strangulation hazard if the patch became snagged on play equipment or similar.

Our plain adult-size patches can be purchased here and you will find many patterned designs in the Ideal Eye Patch Shop online.
