Hi all. Has anyone seen an ITH Eye Patch for kids with lazy eyes (to go over glasses)? My son needs one and I thought an ITH project would be fabulous

ttt. Sorry I haven't seen one but it would be very good if someone could digitize one for ALL the kids that need it. Would sure beat the masking tape I used to use on my daughter's glasses. xx

It would certainly be a wonderful idea

little hearts for girls and skull for boys, perhaps the word BOO could be used as well or peepo

Here is a tutorial for making an eyepatch for occlusion therapy using felt. You could embroidery a boy design of your choice on it.

You could use a pony tail holder. I've had to wear patches in the past and that's what I did. My eye doctor approved of it. I know Designs by Sick has some, but their link to is broken right now.

Here are the ponytail holders from Designs by Sick.

You could use soft fabric like flannel.

Thanks for all your replies!! I was hoping to use a cotton fabric rather than felt as my son has to wear his patch for 4 hours each day (and it's summer here - might get a bit hot)
