Patching Is Only a Short-Term Option
Patching is probably the most common treatment option for lazy eye in children. In this method, the good eye will be covered so that the brain is forced to use the weaker one. Doing this for a couple of hours per day would make the affected eye become much stronger. To see results, it often needs a few months or even years, depending on the stages of the lazy eye. However, keep in mind that this is just a short-term solution. You will need to combine it with other treatments to deal with underlying issues for a complete recovery. [9]
