[quote=Anonymous]My son had accommodative and patched several hours a day for years. It was effective in that he didn’t lose any vision in the weaker eye (amblyopia). He still has a slight turn when trying to focus without glasses. His type of strabismus is not considered congenital and we’re told he isn’t a surgical candidate. I have congenital strabismus. Patching didn’t work for me. I had surgery. Unfortunately repeat surgery is often required and I ended up with 5. Now as an adult I have no depth perception and require a new surgery as my eyes are again misaligned. So sadly surgery isn’t always the end all. For that reason, I think you should give patching a chance to work first. [/quote]
