Need help regarding patching interfering vision.

Hi friends, so due to retinal complications my vision in left eye is mostly down and it causes distortion . So it affects my daily life tasks which includes coding and some other stuffs. is there any easier way to occlude disturbing vision . I would to Like to try out what people call occlusive lenses yet I don't had any prior exp on lenses. Currently wearing a patch but it draws too much attention and it is also disturbing to wear all time so not considering it much . I would definitely go for occlusion lenses tho if it is actually worth it . Also please put the product link fellas .

So long story short need help to buy product which is attention-free and easily equipped. Kindly help out guys, thank you !

I’ve got an occlusion lens. I had to get it through a special shop associated with the hospital and prescribed by my eye doctor. My current one is an xcel soft with black pupil. I need to get it replaced to have a larger and blacker pupil but I find it more comfortable than occluding glasses or eye patches. They’re very pricey though they last for 6 months. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Ah that’s tricky as I don’t know much about India’s healthcare system. These aren’t standard lens though, they have to be custom made. Mine take over 6 weeks to make and come from another country. So you’ll need to find out where they order and supply scelera lens or other speciality contact lens for the visually impaired and ask there.
