My name is Gwen; I
was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis about ten years ago. My MG
went into remission after about 4 years, but about 3 years ago
my husband was also diagnosed with MG.

When I started having double vision
caused by the MG, I went to 3 different specialists to see what
could be done about my vision. I tried wearing glasses with
prisms in them, but different times of the day when my MG would
get worse the glasses just didn't work for me. After going to a
strabismus specialist, I was told I just needed to wear
an eye patch. My wife and I searched and found some patches, but they were
unattractive and uncomfortable. I also found that a shiny black eye patch was
a bit scary to children. Unable to find a suitable replacement for the
black patch, My wife decided to make a few different eye patches using FUN
materials and patterns. |
Her patches better suited my life style and needs.
After she started making my
patches where ever I went people would comment on how my patches
were so unique and attractive. So my wife decided to make them for people that wanted to wear an
eye patch that is different from the average patch. I hope our patches
will encourage you to hang in there through your eye-patching journey.
Remember that compliance is the most important factor in the successful
treatment of an eye condition. Keeping the patch on, helps to develop
the needed pathways of vision between the uncovered eye and the brain. I
hope that her patches will enable you to remain compliant in your
treatment!
God bless you,
Billy
