    Hello, My daughter had a lazy eye when sbe was younger. I was to patch her good eye to strengthen the lazy eye otherwise the dr said the brain should shut off the lazy eye eventually. I patched her good eye for about three years about five hours a day. It worked. He once lazy eye is not as strong as the other eye but is no longer lazy. That our experience on it..good luck to you, take care of that eye
