Our Story

For people

At Eyepatch.com, we’re dedicated to providing education and resources for those affected by amblyopia, strabismus, and other vision conditions. Amblyopia, or “lazy eye,” occurs when the brain favors one eye, leading to reduced vision in the other. Strabismus affects eye alignment and can contribute to double vision. Patching is a common treatment, especially for children, helping to strengthen vision and alignment. For adults, vision therapy is often a more effective approach. Despite the importance of these treatments, finding reliable, comprehensive information can be a challenge.

That’s where Eyepatch.com comes in. We bridge the gap between research, education, and product solutions—all in one place. Whether you’re a parent navigating patching for your child, an adult exploring vision therapy, or a healthcare provider seeking the latest advancements, our platform offers expert-backed insights and practical tools to support your journey. Because better vision starts with better resources.

What we educate on

Amblyopia

Strengthening Vision

Amblyopia, or “lazy eye,” occurs when the brain favors one eye, leading to weaker vision in the other. Because the brain doesn’t recognize both eyes equally, vision in the weaker eye declines over time. Patching is a proven treatment that helps build neural connections, training the brain to acknowledge and strengthen the weaker eye. Early intervention is key, making childhood the most effective time for treatment.

Strabismus

Improving Alignment

Strabismus affects eye alignment, causing one or both eyes to turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. This misalignment can lead to double vision and depth perception issues. In children, patching can help strengthen the weaker eye and encourage better alignment. Adults may also experience strabismus-related double vision, often managing symptoms with reusable eye patches or vision therapy.

Patching

A Key Treatment

Patching involves covering the stronger eye to encourage use of the weaker eye, helping to improve vision and alignment. For children, doctors typically recommend 2-6 hours of patching per day to ensure the brain starts recognizing input from the weaker eye. While patching is most effective in early childhood, it can still provide benefits to older children and adults when combined with vision therapy.
