You can return them to the company for a full refund. That's what I did! :-) ... From: Kathleen Whitfield To: LazyEye@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 01,...
I think it's size-related. Those are the biggest patches, but he's an 11yo who is 5 feet tall and has a fairly large head. I don't think it's be a problem with...
