During the first four months of a child´s life, the optic pathways develop as the eyes mature and receive images that are sent to the brain. For correct vision development, the brain receives equally clear and focused images from both eyes at the same time. However, if anything interferes with this development, amblyopia and reduced vision can result. Amblyopia is a condition that only children develop and needs to be treated at an early age in order to be corrected. Using an eye shield – “or occlusive therapy” – to cover the child´s stronger eye encourages the weaker eye to start working and stimulates vision, also helping the part of the brain that manages vision to develop. The length of time and the number of hours per day that the child needs to wear the eye protector varies, so it is important to follow the specific treatment routine that is prescribed. 3M™ Opticlude™ Orthoptic Eye Protectors are tried, tested and trusted, resulting from years of use by orthoptists across Europe to provide a comfortable solution for childhood amblyopia. They contain a central pad that absorbs excess moisture and are made of breathable, hypoallergenic and latex-free material. Easy to apply and remove. Now, putting on eye protectors is a pleasure. 3M™ Opticlude™ 2539PE Orthoptic Eye Protectors, 5.7 x 8cm, 30 UNITS.
