[quote=Anonymous]I had lazy eye/amblyopia as child. I did the patch for a while. My dad would draw a picture on it every day (flower, turtle, whatever I requested) to help make it more palatable. I had the surgery at age 3 (I guess the patching wasn't enough) and have been fine for many decades. I do have problems with depth perception, but no one ever told me about this as a child and I thought I just sucked at gym class. It was kind of demoralizing. After reading this thread, I did a little research on amblyopia, and see that the patch is needed for just two hours a day. The site also mentioned that a drop could be used in the good eye to blur it temporarily to help the lazy eye get stronger rather than patching.[/quote]
