If you are looking for how long to wear an eye path,
then I can say you have a child with a lazy eye or you had a cataract surgery,
Let me assume
the 1st, , that you are having child with a lazy eye; for a child with a lazy eye, you have to get
the child wear the eye patch for a period of at
least two hours daily for a period of minimum six month, however some medical suggestion consider just
a period of twelve weeks can improve vision.
O get your
child to allow the eye patch on , may be a problem but you can induce the child
to get use to it, you can draw a beautiful
cartoonist picture on it, or put a flower on it if your kid is small, or you can use incentives,
like buying sweets or gift to your child for leaving the eye patch on it,
If you are an
adult and have undergone a cataract surgery, what you will be given is an eye
shield, not an eye patch, as the name implies
, this is designed to protect the eye, and to prevent any physical injury to
the eye, . when you just had a cataract surgery,
you may be required to leave the eye shield on your eye at least for a period of time before you see your doctor
for recheck up. After that you can
alternatively use your eye shield and
your glass. Nonetheless , you will still require your eye shield in the night
before sleeping, just ensure that you do not go to the bed without the eye shield on.
When you
slept you may unknowingly lie, rub, scratch or hit and then hurt your operated
eye, unknowingly.
