3M™ Opticlude™ are special orthoptic eye patches used to treat strabismus and amblyopia in childhood and adults. \ \ Worn over the preferred eye, the eye patch encourages the weaker eye to function. \ \ The patch has a non-woven microporous backing that allows the skin to breathe and function normally. \ \ The adhesive is hypoallergenic and gentle on the child's skin. \ \ Skin-friendly backing allows the skin to breathe. \ \ Hypoallergenic skin-friendly adhesive reduces the risk of skin irritation. The non-stick material prevents secretions from sticking to the eye. \ \ Opticlude eye patches are easily applied and removed with minimal skin trauma, while the unique pressure-sensitive adhesive secures the patch throughout the occlusion. \ \ In addition, the thin, lightweight design requires no shaping, folding or cutting, and the skin-tone color and tone help make it the optimal version to be aesthetically acceptable. \
