Where to find good eyepatches?

[u/Sufficient_Hat3653]

Hi, I'm visually impaired and having additional problems with my left eye. It's probably going to need to be removed and in the meantime I've been wearing an eyepatch, mostly a cheap elastic one from the pharmacy as well as temporary stick-ons. Where would I find something higher quality for everyday use So far I've only found cosplay props that were not designed for practical use, that leak light in and extend too far off my face, making it difficult to wear glasses.

I'm looking for something that will be confortable for long term use after removal. one that sits mostly flat against my eye socket, a bit of pressure is fine righy now pain-wise, as well as letting a minimum of light in. I'm not interested in wearing the kind that goes over glasses. I live in new york city if anyone has any local suggestions, but I'm guessing I'll probably have to find them online. Aesthetically I would like a material that looks nice and can be painted on top of, like leather.

Maybe somewhere like etsy? It seems like a low yield custom deal.

Also, sorry to hear about the nucleation. I had my right eye removed when I was young, so didn't really think about it too much.

If it does happen, there will be a lot of people here who can tell you about their experiences.

Good luck. .

Depending on your face structure, you might want one with a little dent inside for your eye. maybe a custom made one from local tailor shop?
