To Protect An EYE AFTER SURGERY When a person needs surgery on their eye, the healing process is critical for a successful long term outcome. Eyes don’t heal in the same way as broken skin, and keeping debris, dust, and bacteria away from them is essential. This temporary need for an eye patch also applies to people getting cosmetic eye surgery, or corrective surgery such as LASIK. For fastest healing after surgery, air flow has been found to help as much as protecting the eye.

“


When the EyE Was Removed or DISFIGURED When certain diseases reach into the areas around or within the eye, sometimes the eye must be surgically removed to eradicate the disease. This happens most often with certain forms of cancer. After having an eye removed, one can be fit for a prosthetic eye. Many people in this situation also choose to get an eye patch to serve as a backup if the prosthetic eye is getting repolished or otherwise repaired.

This condition happens to 2-3% of children, and is one of the most common reasons to wear an eye patch. It happens when one eye is ‘favored’ by the brain more than the other, leading the other eye’s optic nerves to weaken. If nothing is done, the weaker eye can atrophy and cause worse problems to develop.

An ophthalmologist will sometimes prescribe an eye patch for these situations, most commonly for children. The patch will be worn over the stronger eye, which will force the weaker eye to work harder and strengthen the optic nerves. Over time, the weaker eye will strengthen enough so the eye patch is no longer needed.


STRABISMUS

When amblyopia goes untreated, strabismus is one of the conditions that can result. While you can have amblyopia and show few visible signs of it, strabismus is visually evident, because the eye falls out of center. It can fall left, right, up, or down, and eventually it can lead to worse conditions. But again, an eye patch can still be prescribed and can successfully treat strabismus.


Diplopia (Double Vision) People who suffer from vertigo, dizziness, or nausea can occasionally develop diplopia. An eye patch is not always the best treatment for diplopia, but it can sometimes help correct the problem. But you should never wear an eye patch on your own to try to correct a vision problem without seeing a doctor.


CataraCts & GLAUCOMA

These eye diseases are examples of conditions where an eye patch is not a good treatment, but some people try to use them anyway.

In both of these diseases, there are underlying problems within the eye that an eye patch will not correct, and may in fact make things worse. Again, you should never wear an eye patch to treat a vision problem without first seeing a doctor.
