So Abs found out from the ophthalmologist today that she needs to start patching her eye for two hours a day every day. Her left eye that turns in is getting worse, and she is basically unable to see much of anything out of that eye. Her vision measured 20/100 in the left eye WITH her glasses on.
No big deal. We've dealt with many worse things!
But it is definitely going to take a bit of convincing to get Abby to buy into the whole thing. The alternative is putting drops in her eye that make her vision blurry for the entire day, which I think sounds a lot worse. I thought I'd be able to find cute patches that would entice her, but the girly disposable patches online aren't all
I ended up buying a few different brands of tan patches at the drug store to test them out. I have a feeling that the adhesive will do a number on her skin like it usually does, so I started looking for some alternatives. I found some cute ones that cover up the entire lens and the side. I think that she will be much more willing to keep it on if it doesn't pull out her eyebrows!
This is where you come in! Take a look at these and vote for your favorite! (Keep Abby's personality and preferences in mind!) :)

Oh, I like them all!! Especially the Ariel eye patch, as I love, love, love that Disney film!! However. If we are going to keep Abby--not me!!--in mind? I definitely vote for the Olaf eye patch!! ;op
