    Patch Therapy

    Patch Therapy for

    Squint and Lazy Eye

    Patch therapy is an effective non-surgical approach to strengthen a weaker eye.

    How It Works?

    The stronger eye is covered, forcing the weaker eye to function and improve its visual acuity.

    Tips for Success

    • Ensure complete closure of the stronger eye.
    • Engage your child with activities like reading, colouring or playing games while wearing the patch.
    • Start with short durations and gradually increase the time to build comfort.

    Safety

    Patch therapy is safe and free from side effects.

    Squint Surgery

    FAQS

    The timing of squint surgery depends on the type of squint, with some needing surgical intervention as early as 1 year.

    Yes, patch therapy can still help older children if it hasn’t been tried earlier but may be less effective.


    No, it depends on the type of squint. Many cases can be managed with glasses, exercises or patch therapy. A thorough examination can help us determine if non-surgical intervention may be sufficient.

    Follow-up visits are typically every 2-4 months, as advised by the doctor.
