The ‘Perfect Patch’ company began with the needs of a young boy who was diagnosed with Amblyopia (lazy eye) and was required to wear corrective lenses and an eye patch for several hours per day.
Many parents out there will know what it’s like to try and get their child to wear one of the uncomfortable eye patch options on the market. We discovered very quickly that this struggle needed a solution.
The eye patches available were either adhesive, foam, plastic, or a ‘pirate’ patch. The adhesive patches would irritate his skin and need to be replaced any time it became uncomfortable or wet. The ‘pirate’ patches would shift around his head, and the plastic and foam patches never fit properly. Understandably, these were frustrating and uncomfortable, and resulted in them never being worn long enough.
With no good options available, we took matters into our own hands. After a few rounds of design and reworking, The Perfect Eye Patch was born.
In 1994, we patented our design and began shipping world-wide to help parents and children learn that patching doesn’t need to be a difficult or uncomfortable experience.
Today, this family owned and operated business has been passed down the generations from grandmother to granddaughter. With 20+ years of experience, The Perfect Eye Patch can continue with the help of our new owner, Mary Bevan, who grew up helping and learning the business while spending quality time with her grandmother.
We look forward to our future as we continue to support the patching community.
