Pirate Princess Rose is the Hero of Her Own Eye Treatment

Pirate Princess Rose is the hero of her own eye treatment is an illustrated, fun and educational book which explains the eye-patching process in a child-friendly way.

Created to support the adult/parent/carer/school/nursery, the child, their siblings and their peers following a lazy eye diagnosis (amblyopia), this positive and upbeat story will encourage little ones to wear their eye patches during treatment.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK …
"This is an excellent booklet to encourage children with amblyopia to wear eye patches. Illustrations are great too. Congratulations, Princess Flicker Glitter! I would like you to do another one with Filipo as the main character."
S Thomas, Consultant Paediatric Ophthalmologist, Nottingham, UK

Written by a Nottingham-based practising orthoptist, Dr Awan understands how tricky it can be to get into an eye-patch-wearing routine with pre-schoolers and youngsters, which is why she wrote this engaging and beautifully illustrated book. Capturing imaginations, and making the eye treatment less scary and more fun, normalises the process.

And which little girl or boy wouldn't want to become the hero of their own eye treatment?

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK …
"Finally a book that mentions all the great work orthoptists do to treat childhood eye problems!"
R Islam, Orthoptist, Doncaster, UK

If your child has been diagnosed with amblyopia or a lazy eye, then this book will turn their fear into fun and help them realise they aren't alone.
