I am so happy I found your patches for my son. We patch for a minimum of 4 hours everyday and his poor face has a ring around his eye where the adhesive sticks! Thank you for making such a great item! Very Thankful and I am gonna be ordering very soon!! Patching may be a little better for him now!

Hi, A few weeks ago I ordered patches from you- my son is almost 2 1/2 and we have struggled with patching since he was diagnosed with a unilatrtal cataract at 4 months old. After lens replacement surgery a year and a half ago, his opthamologist told us to use Atropine because Jack would not tolerate patching at all. After our last visit, the doc gave us the option of using Atropine daily or attempting to patch again- we decided we would try patching. We had a few adhesive patches left, and Jack was better with them, but obviously uncomfortable, he cried and rubbed his patched eye. I looked online and found your site- we decided to try your patches and ordered 2 so Jack could decide which he wanted to wear each day.
In the past an hour was all the patching we could get in each day and that was with constant supervision and multiple adhesive patches. The past week we have gotten Jack to wear his patch at least 4 hours a day and yesterday when he woke up from his nap, he looked at me and said, "Mommy, put patch on." I cannot tell you how amazing this is!
I cannot thank you enough for making and selling these patches; it is a huge relief to no longer need to put Atropine in Jack's eye and he really likes the over the glasses patches.
Thank you so very much!

I just wanted to thank u SOOOO much for this product. My daughter has somewhat of a lazy eye and I can not believe they had me put one of those awful bandaid type patches on her eye! what a mess! This has helped her so much!!! What a awkward thing for a 5 year old and ur product just rocks! love it love it love it love it!!!

Just wanted to say THANKS! Purchased a patch for my daughter and it is PERFECT!! Now she will wear a patch thanks to your patch!
WOW!
All I can say is thank you. I feel that I have tried every patch type available through the pharmacy within a short period of time without success and now I found the answer! Not only does my little guy love the race car on his patch, he's not peeking and your turn around on my order was amazingly fast.
I appreciate your product and service level. Again, thank you.
I just love your product!! When our doctor told us to patch, I thought, "okay, not a big deal." That was in September and we're still patching, we've been going back every 6 weeks and Adam (4 years old) will have surgery soon. I didn't realize how long the doctor wanted us to patch. Finally a couple of weeks ago I started searching on the internet, I thought, "there has got to be something better!" I hate that Adam would be patching until he is 10! At least, that's what the doctor is saying for now. I have felt horrible, knowing what it's like for him to wear the sticky patch, I tried it for 20 minutes and hated it! After searching I found your website and I am SO HAPPY! Adam is very happy too, he actually wears it the whole time that he's supposed to!
Thank you so much for going through the same thing and knowing there needs to be something better! I'm a little bummed that our doctor hasn't said anything about this, but you can be sure I will be telling him! When I asked the doctor, "How do I keep the (sticky) patch on him?" His response was to spank, time outs, groundings, etc. I told him I'd tried all those things and that Adam has such a strong personality that he doesn't care. So, the doctors next response was, "arm splints!" I HATED that idea! I thought, "so now we're forcing him to see with ONLY his bad eye and making it so he can't bend his arms? What happens when he falls?" I'm sure it wouldn't be fun.
Thank you so much!

Patch Pals,
I wanted to say Thank you. I recently ordered a Pirate patch and a plain black patch for my 7 year old son. My son , Sean, was not happy wearing the sticky patches that were like band aids for the eye. They hurt to take off and irritated the skin. I found you site on the internet. We ordered the two and , Sean loves them. I love the different designs. I will definitely pass the word for anyone else for their needs. Keep up the great work.
Sincerely,

I just wanted to say thank you for selling a TERRIFIC product! You have made patching SO much easier for my daughter. I thought for sure we would never get her to wear the patch without her fighting and complaining about wearing it. The adhesive patches would never stay on right and when they did my daughter who is 3 would cry because it would itch and irritate her skin. Your patches are pretty and don't irritate her at all. Thank you so much for making a wonderful product!

Finding your site online has made my day!
I just found out my daughter has Amblyopia and will have to wear an eye patch.
Your site has given me lots of great information and idea's to help with patching.
Payton was able to pick her own patch design and become a patch club member.
She feels very special and is excited about getting her patch in the mail.
From one very happy mom and her little girl THANK-YOU!!!
Theresa & Payton
Thank you so much for these wonderful patches! My son hated the ones that stick on, but now he has been using yours for the past 6-8 months and he LOVES them. His friends and teachers think that his pirate patch is really cool! Thanks so much for making this easier for our family.
Sincerly,
Pilar Meek
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much my daughter LOVES her patches. We recieved them today (super fast shipping). She could hardly wait to rip open the package when she got home from school today. Very well made, and seems easy to trim to adjust to her tiny face. Her favorite, at the moment, is the kitty ( which she has named Lindsey. lol). She will not take off her new bracelet either. She was not happy about patching at all, but with her new patches, she has not asked to take it off all evening. We will have to patch full time for about7-9 months, Thank you for making a hard transition, so much easier. Very happy kid, very happy Mama !!!

Thanks & have a great day!!

Thank you so much for shipping our items so quickly, even though I had to send the side to you later. My son is so excited about wearing his patch - for the first time ever! Right now he's wearing his pirate in training shirt and waiting for me to finish writing you so he can play the games on your website. I wish I had heard about you earlier. Like many parents, this whole patching thing was a huge struggle and I eventually gave up. I hope your business is profitable, you deserve it for providing such a great product and service! We will be repeat customers.
Many thanks,
Diane Tiede :)
My daughter, Paloma, age 5, naturally hated wearing her eye patches, but her doctor ordered full-time patching for the 6 weeks we had left before school started, in hopes that she would be able to reduce the # of hours by the time school started. Fortunately, she went from 150/20 to 30/20 in those 6 weeks, and we feel tremendously blessed! She is now down to 4 hrs/day and so she does not have to wear her patch to school. She is SO happy about that, as you can imagine!
She wore adhesive patches for about 2 weeks, but the humid weather made it difficult to keep them on. I researched several online companies selling cloth patches before I chose yours, mostly for the variety of super-cute designs you have and the club and Patch Land! Both of my girls love playing the games on Patch Land! And Paloma got really excited about picking out a few designs that she liked. Truthfully, we had to narrow it down from about 8-10 designs because there were so many she liked.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for creating these pretty patches with such a good understanding of little girls. You have great designs and we always refer your company to other parents.
We've attached a picture for you to add to your gallery. The ballerina slippers are her favorite and she wears it to her dance class. If I get a photo with the little hearts patch, I'll send that, too!
Warm regards,
Micaela Rall
My daughter loves the patch pals and great coverage over the eye they leave no peek holes..thanku kelly marques
Thanks a million!
What a clever product. Our daughter has been really sensitive about wearing an eyepatch, complaining that the sticky kind pull at here eyelashes and brow, and that the band around kind embarrass her. This is just perfect! And what wonderful customer service!
Thanks,
MOM :)

p.s. If she likes this one, we will surely be back for all sorts of designs! :)
Thank-you so very much! James goes on your website EVERYDAY after school. He puts on his patch, and likes to play the games.
If it were not for Patch-Pals, I honestly do not know what I would do.... James fought and fought me about wearing his patch - a friend told me about your product and website - THANK GOODNESS!! Now that James LIKES his patches - he is more willing to wear them - not only at home, but outside of the home. Someone came up to me yesterday and asked me where I got James' patch - her son has to patch, and currently owns a "clip on" version - she was so excited to see James! -- Her son was actually the first to notice James' and asked his Mom for the same one.
So again - THANK-YOU. Your website and all the valuable information has truly been a blessing.
Kind Regards,
Heather Powers
I ordered 2 patches for my daughter. They are fantastic!!!!! Very well made and she loves the designs. It makes it fun for her. I have passed your website to a number of paople. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much, and thank you for a wonderful product!!! I've recommended your site to many parents and will continue to do so. As a matter of fact, if you can include some business cards in my order, I can hand them out to other parents who stop us while we are out.
Your patches are so cute and make patching less of a chore for us. :D

I just want to say THANK YOU for making "patching" fun. My daughter who will soon be 8 is being patched for the first time. She is very nervous about what others will think...she is excited about the puppy patch and the plush.
Thank you, thank you for your product.

Hello,
I recently purchased three patches for my three-year old daughter. She had been struggling with the adhesive patches complaining that they were itchy and they hurt when we had to peel them off. Your product couldn't have come at a better time. She has been alternating between the "princess", "fairy" and "purple sparkle" patches since we got your package in the mail. Thank-you so much for making a product that gives both children (and parents) a little bit of comfort during the long journey towards good vision.
I am a VERY happy customer.
Sincerely,
Rikki Nevins
We love your patches - thanks so much for all the suggestions and hints. My daughter Francie is 4 yrs. old now and we have been patching since she was 1 1/2. We were so grateful to discover your webpage when she was about 3 and got rid of the sticky patches. They have made our lives much easier.
We live in Germany and a lot of people have approached us when Francie is wearing her patch and wanted to know where we got it!!!! I showed the eye doctor here everything and he was impressed and loved the book also. He wanted to know when the german version was coming out!!???

Thank you. I just wanted you to know that I loved your daughter's story and that I am so grateful that you had the creative brain to come up with this idea. I am a 38 year old mother of two boys that are going to need to start patching. I, myself, was born with severe amblyopia. When I was 13 months old I had surgery to correct it and it did not work. My right eye was corrected and then my left eye turned in. I, of course, know all about patching and I absolutely hated it! I bet if I had a cool patch like patch pals I would have enjoyed it some. My boys are excited about their patches and I couldn't be more thrilled that they are excited about it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tanya Hested

Thank you so much for offering this amazing product. My 3 year old son is Autistic and we knew there was no way we could get that sticky patch on and even if we did, he would rip it off or spend all day trying to. When the Dr. suggested patchpals, I knew this was something he would tolerate. This will truly save his eye, without it, we would be forced to do surgery to cut his nerve. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Patch Pals! I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I ordered patches for my 7-year-old daughter. She had only worn the adhesive patches for 3 days and her skin was already irritated. She was not happy. I ordered the patches on Friday and they arrived at my home on Monday!! WOW! Marissa absolutely loves her"fancy patches" I know your patches will make the next few months of patch wearing much more enjoyable for her! Thanks again! 
Debbie from Ohio
My daughter Mikayla loves your patches. She picked up the Figaro patch at an AAFES Military Optical Shop when she got her first pair of glasses about 3 weeks ago and it is her favorite patch so I decided to buy her some more along with "The Patch" book. She was so excited when they came today she wanted to "try-on" each of the new patches. She was very shy about wearing the patch to school when she found out she had to wear one and your patches has made that easier for her. Thank you for such a wonderful product and such "cool" designs.
Catherine Gallagher- Mom of Mikayla age 8
I just wanted to say thank you for your product. It's really helped our little girl Madalyn, age 6. I remember the first time Maddie had to wear her glasses to school. She was giving us a hard in morning about going and when I finally I got her to talk about it, she broke down, through her arms around me and said, "They're all going to make fun of me". It broke my heart. We talked and she gathered all her courage and went to school. She is a very brave little girl. She only had to wear her patch pal at home this point. This year she started going to school all day, and she would have to wear her patch during school. Although I wasn't able to be there this year, I am currently in Iraq, she has been doing great with wearing her patch. She still had to be brave that first day but having a patch pal definitely made it easier for her to handle and easier for the other kids to accept. I've attached a picture of Maddie wearing her patch, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, I know she would love to see it on your web-site. Maddie's eye is improving and she loves to read. Thank you again, David
These patches are the best, the only ones my daughter will wear, and the book is great!

My name is Kennady and I am 4 years old. Yesterday my opthamologist said I need to patch my left eye to make my right eye stronger. I don't mind wearing the patch (so far,) but when my mom said I was going to daycare today, I cried. I told her I was afraid the kids would wonder why I "lost" my eye. My mom is so thankful that she came across your site today. Tonight she and I are going to sit down together so I can pick out some of my very own patches. Coloring the band-aid one with markers just wasn't cutting it. These are simply adorable and look MUCH for comfortable. I have even been asking for a "sparkly" one to match my glasses. Thank you!

My seven year old son Brandon has had to patch from the age of two. When we started patching we used the sticky band-aid type and we had to draw fun things on them for him to be okay with wearing them. Although taking them off would always hurt and leave red marks around his eye not to mention the cost. As he got older it became more of a struggle to get him to wear his patch because of kids teasing and the pain of it all. So to save some fighting we got lazy on having him wear his patch but his sight got slightly worse and so we went to the local pharmacy and got the black over the counter patch with the elastic strap that comes only in one size for adults. More of a struggle, my son complained it made his eye hot and I found him wearing it on his forehead more than on his eye. I decided to look online and found patch pals about a month ago and I ordered one to see if it would work and to see if my son would keep it on. These patch pals are wonderful!!!! He and his friends think they are cool and he is eager to put it on after school. We also do a reward system that is helping too. Thank you for not only making my sons eyesight stronger but also Thank you for making one thing in my life easier. - Amie, Burton, MI

"I just wanted to tell you that this is the first time my son has ever wanted to wear his patch. He loves them. He actually ran down the stairs this morning and picked out the one he wanted to wear and I didn't have to say anything!"

To the creator of patchpals.com ----
As the grandmother of a little girl, now age 3, I have prayed for months for a solution to present itself that will help with her eyesight. Battles over sticky patches and drops have been heart-tugging, to say the least. Just today I have learned that my daughter has ordered patches from your site. They should be such a help in the patching process. It is our prayer that over time this will allow Katelynn the use of both eyes and the blessing of very, very good eyesight.
Your website is fantastic...I cried through the entire reading time! I applaud your creativity and thank you for sharing such needed help with others! May God bless your own endeavors. Thank You!
Very truly,
Christina L Gillespie
My son Tate has not had to patch more than 4 hours per day, but he loved picking out his car patch and has received many compliments on it! Patching has been a huge success in improving his vision and depth perception, and I'm convinced it was a lot easier than it could have been because of this fun patch.

Cathy,
Thanks so much for the patches. As an "older" patient I have to patch after muscle surgery. The adhesive patches were uncomfortable, hot and sweaty. Your patch does the job required and is quite comfortable. The fact that it was recommended by my opthalmologist reassured me. I was a little concerned since they were geared toward children, but the plain patches you sent were discreet and the decorated patches were great for my "fun" side. Thanks again.

Hi. I just thought I would e-mail to let you know that your patches have made all of the difference in the world for our 4 year old, Catherine. She strongly disliked the stick on patches. We tried the drop for awhile because she disliked the stick on patches so much. She did really well letting me put the drop in, but it started to backfire because she was trying to use the good eye with the drop in it instead of using the weak eye. We could tell because the weak eye was turning in. So...I thought how are we going to get her to wear the patch again? She is a pink fanatic, so I thought if I could only find a pink patch she would probably think it would be fun to wear. That is when I went on line and found your web site. She loves her patch pals!! She has gone from 20/200 in her weak eye ( with the glasses on) to 20/40. We have patched for about 10 months now. We always get the most positive comments from people about the patches. The goal is 20/20 with the glasses, but we are in no hurry because she loves the patches so much!! Thank you! This has made my life easier too as a parent, because my child is happy!! I have attached two pictures of Catherine in her puppy patch. She likes it because of the pink nose!! Thanks again. Sincerely, Valerie Mefford Frankfort, KY
Thank you so much for the this wonderful gift you have given my 7 year old daughter. We had just finished our 3 hours with the old adhesive patch and received our order. She gladly put on the dog patch for another hour voluntarily for extra credit! This is going to make our life run more smoothly until our recheck at the end of June. I am definitely passing the website onto our vision therapist. Thank you !!!!! Lisa O'Connor
My daughter had issues accepting the new patches, and she refused to wear them for a whole week after they arrived. But now she absolutely LOVES wearing it. The first thing she does when she wakes up is she asks " Can you put my eye patch on" So, many people have commented on how CUTE it is, and what a great idea. Thank you for creating such a great product. Stephanie C. Boston, MA
