Patching is where we get a fabulous pirate looking patch (which apparently I ordered for the wrong eye because his fishy is upside down) and you put it over your GOOD eye for a certain amount of time daily. In our case the therapist ordered 2 hours per day on days we do not do in office therapy. This means we patch 5 times a week.
It was not dramatic as expected. But then again we have many days to go of this and it will not be long before we are all frustrated with it, especially lil Charlie, and when that time comes we will handle it. Together.
It did give him a lil headache and oddly enough he said his left eye (his good eye) was hurting. I suspect this is because the good eye is so used to compensating for his bad eye that it was trying to focus the entire time to compensate but couldn't since it was in the dark. Interesting.
He says when he had his patch on he saw "blurry, and it was hard to see. Also that he could see things around the house but they were blurry"
So proud of my guy. So glad God has provided the opportunity to provide therapy for him.
