Are there different types of patches?
The classic patch is an adhesive “Band-Aid” which is applied directly to the skin around the eye [See figure 3]. These may be available in different sizes for younger and older children. For children wearing glasses, both cloth and semi-transparent stickers (Bangerter foils) may be placed over or onto the spectacles. “Pirate” patches on elastic bands are especially prone to “peeking” and are therefore only occasionally appropriate.
