Many kids experience a rash or irritation from the adhesive tapes using with patches.
Some parents put medicated ointments or moisturizers on the area where the adhesive sticks, after removing the patch. Others use special products designed to be used to minimize irritation before applying the patch to help it stick and to prevent skin irritation. Talk with your child's teachers. Let them know what is going on with your child. Many times they are ready to help and can explain the vision problem to other students.
