    Eyepatch needed

    A colleague needs an eye patch. Can't use those adhesive ones at the chemist. Would like old style large one covering the full eye with a strap around the head to hold it in place.

    His wife can't find one anywhere.

    Suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!

    i know it's a hassle, and i hope that your colleague fully recovers.
    but man, an eye patch with the strap - that's so badass.
    i knew a guy when i was in college who wore one, totally intimidating. later in life he stopped wearing it and took to just accepting his double vision, not sure how he handled that but he did. but when i first met him, man, i was scared.

    Have you tried Fanda in Central? I work very close and can go ask if you like.

    What you need is the new iPatch, only $6,888.

    Maybe one of the optometrist clinics would have one? You could try calling the PolyU optometry center: School of Optometry

    Or in Central you could try calling ISight and ask them or at least ask where you could find one (they're very helpful and speak good English so they could at least make a recommendation if they didn't have it): Welcome to iSight Eye Care Center

    Thanks for those great recommendations. I will order from Bangood as a spare/backup and my friend is following up with the optometry options.

    You people are great!
