AimlessWanderer
Remember to forget me!
I thought I'd start a thread for the unusual items that some of us might wear, which most folks don't think about. Maybe it's smog masks for some, or even neck braces, or specially adapted items perhaps.
For me, it's eye patches. I have complex neurological issues, which (amongst many other symptoms) can lead to either monocular or binocular double vision. If the eyes refuse to both aim at the same target, I can throw a patch over either eye, and be functional again. Alternatively, if one eye starts misbehaving, and giving me ghosted images, I can blank off that specific eye.
(If both happen simultaneously, I can be seeing triple. That's fun to try and deal with!!!)
I've just been using a cheap fabric patch, but being reversible so it can be used on either eye, it sits flat, and the eyelashes rub in it. That can be really annoying! So I've just ordered a couple of pre-cupped leather ones off Etsy. One with a dragon scale type pattern, and a rusticated one. They're coming from Eastern Europe, so may take a while to arrive, but I'll chuck pics up when they land.
Anyone else wearing anything unusual, that others might not have considered? Obviously some additional needs such as these, can make a difference to other sartorial choices.
