We Entered The World Of Patching, When Elias Was 3 Months Old.. Because Eli's Right Eye Is Slightly Smaller Then The Left, And Also Has An Astigmatism, His Contact Lens Never Properly Fit... Constantly Having To Be Adjusted..
At The Same Time His Left Eye, Was Fine, Contact Fit Great, And Had A Clear View At All Times..
His Right Eye Wasn't Quite As Strong As His Left..
So We Began Patching His Left Eye, To Strengthen His Right. Otherwise, His Brain Would Start Ignoring The Poor Images Coming From The " Weak " Eye, And Begin Favoring The Other, Thus Making His "Weak" Eye To Turn In...
At First It Was Easy... He Was Still So Little, He Didn't Really Notice...
But In Time.. He Got Older.. And As He Got Older.. He Got A Little More Resistant..
But I Can Honestly Say ( As I Knock On Wood ) That As Resistant As He Can Be To Putting It On..
He Has Never Pulled One Off!
He's Eight Months Now, And We Currently Patch About 31 Hours A Month!
He's Pretty Doing Pretty Well, And His Vision In His Right Eye Has Improved Almost 100%!!!
His Right Eye Is Almost As Strong As His Left!
Patching Is NO Fun! But It DOES Work!!! :)
