Your child is in good company.
Thousands of families walk this road every year, and almost none of them talk about it. The Brave Eye Club is a free, private community where parents share the patching wins, the hard days, and the tips that actually help.
Here is what it is actually like inside.
Real talk from real parents
Members share the wins and the wobbles, from the day the patch finally stayed on to the 6am "she has ripped it off again" mornings.
Tips that actually work
Practical ideas for patching, glasses, screen time and school, swapped between parents who have already been there.
Dr Claire drops in
She answers questions, shares the occasional pointer, and posts the odd invite to events and live sessions.
A private, safe space
A closed group where you can ask anything without judgement, and without your wider circle seeing.
A free support group for parents of children with patches and glasses.
You are not the only one
Thousands of children wear patches or glasses, or are treated for a squint or lazy eye. In here, your child is in good company.
Real, practical help
Honest tips for patching, glasses, appointments and school, and for the days it does not go to plan, from parents who get it.
A child who feels proud
Whatever your child's eyes need, it stops being something to hide and becomes part of a story of courage worth celebrating.
So often a parent leaves my rooms with the science clear, and the hard part still ahead of them. The patch at home, the school run, the tears at bath time. That is exactly why I am in the Brave Eye Club myself, so you have somewhere to ask the small questions between appointments, and to see, plainly, that your family is in very good company.
A little help for your inbox, and your WhatsApp.
Leave your details and Dr Claire sends simple, no-jargon guidance on patching, milestones and what to watch for, plus the occasional friendly nudge on WhatsApp. No spam, just genuinely useful help for your child's eyes.
Come and meet the parents who get it.
Join our free Facebook group and share the road with other parents who understand, the patching wins, the wobbles, and the little tricks that make it easier. Warm, private, and always free.
Open to every parent and caregiver. You do not need to be a patient or a course member to belong here.
Join the Facebook group →The things parents ask before they join.
Yes, completely. There is no fee to join and there never will be. It is part of how KiDS EYES supports families between appointments. No cost, no catch, no upsell.
Not at all. The club is open to any parent or caregiver of a child with an eye condition, wherever you are and whoever your doctor is. You do not need to be a KiDS EYES patient.
Both. First and foremost it is a community of parents supporting each other, and Dr Claire is in there too. She drops in to answer questions, share the occasional tip, and post the odd invite. You get a specialist in the room, not just a comment section.
Just read if you prefer. Plenty of members never post a word and simply take comfort in seeing they are not alone. Post when you are ready, or never. Both are welcome.
Yes. Patching is only one part of it. Glasses, squints, appointments, school worries, or simply the shock of a new diagnosis all belong here. If your child's eyes work a little differently, you are in the right place.
The Club is the free community where parents support each other day to day. The newsletter is Dr Claire's practical tips landing in your inbox. Patch to Progress is the paid, step-by-step course for families who want structured guidance on patching for children with lazy eye and other conditions that need patching. Start with the free two, and add the course if and when you want it.
They are used only to send you KiDS EYES emails, and WhatsApp messages if you gave a number. We never sell or share your details, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Our Privacy Policy has the full detail.
