    The document discusses the benefits and use of eye patches. Eye patches can strengthen a weak eye by forcing the weaker eye to work harder. Patching is recommended for 2 to 6 hours a day and works best for children under age 7. Early patching can improve vision and avoid more invasive treatments. Patches also help with double vision by blocking one eye's image.
