Children with esotropia may require surgery, however, to properly align their eyes. They may receive an eye patch after this treatment to continue to strengthen the eye.
Eye patches are not given to adults to treat amblyopia or strabismus, but after almost any type of eye surgery, you are likely to receive an eye patch to protect your eye for a day or two. For example, after LASIK , you may wear a patch at night to prevent accidental scratching or bumping of your healing cornea. After surgery to treat macular pucker , you will wear an eye patch for a few days to protect the eye. The skin around your eye can be sensitive to the adhesive on a patch, and the eye covering could irritate the area.
This treatment generally works faster when you follow the patching dosage strictly. But there are ways to make the process easier and to make long-term use comfortable. Among the most practical ways to alleviate common eye patch discomfort:.
While there are instances in which an eye patch is appropriate, wearing one without the suggestion from an optometrist or ophthalmologist may not help your eyes long term.
Although it is rare for an eye patch to hurt your vision, it is possible that wearing a patch may temporarily treat symptoms that would benefit more from a medical diagnosis and a long-term approach to treatment. Eye fatigue can be associated with glaucoma , which is damage to the retina most often caused by high fluid pressure in the eye. Some people may wear an eye patch for close-up work or computer work to reduce eye strain in the eye that has more vision loss.
While this may seem like a good temporary solution, it is important to talk to your ophthalmologist about other methods for managing eye strain. Wearing an eye patch will not cause worsening vision in the dominant eye, but it could add to strain in that eye, which may become uncomfortable. There are several eye conditions in adults that may cause double vision, including cataracts or central serous chorioretinopathy.
These eye diseases require other treatment, and eye patches will not improve problems caused by one eye being more out of focus than the other. If you try to wear an eye patch without going to an optometrist or ophthalmologist first, the eye condition could progress due to lack of proper treatment. If you experience double vision, always get a diagnosis with an eye doctor.
Do not try to treat it yourself. Eye patches are important parts of treating certain eye conditions , and they can improve or protect vision in your eyes — whether you are wearing the patch to manage vision in a non-dominant eye or because you are protecting your good eye.

But is there a connection there? Because, could the Eye Patch Lady be working for someone? If not the Dream Lord, then we first saw her in the episode with The Silence, so is there some kind of link there? Could she even be a guard of sorts? That would explain the prison-like door she keeps seeming to open and shut a hatch to.
If so, who is she a guard for? And if she is, why does Amy need to be guarded in the first place? And, in line with further speculation custom, we should throw in the usual gambit of her being linked to River Song, too.
She is a leader of The Silence. Due to their race being forgotten by a person when they're not looking at a Silent, she's always wearing her eye-patch which is an Eye Drive, which allows her to remember them at all times. The Silence is a splinter group of The Church, who traveled back along the Doctor's personal timeline from the events of The Time of the Doctor. They sought to kill him, thus preventing him from reaching Trenzalore. She left behind a flesh duplicate of River to throw the Doctor and friends off her trail.
We don't know Our intrepid heroes also didn't pursue the child who was in the spacesuit. Nor did Amy seem to remember the picture of her holding a baby. I think it's clear that this two-parter was setting things up for future episodes. We have two parallel worlds in collision or maybe more. Amy and parallel world Amy are "parked" in the same space, just like the ships in the Black Spot.
Parallel Amy is pregnant. I think that the entire series is going to turn out to be a premonition dream in a mental hospital, and the eye patch woman is a mental health nurse.
Amy is going to wake up and realise she has seen a possible future and warn the Dr about the space suit killer. The series is a virtual reality simulation that Amy is experiencing, and the eye patch woman is just monitering the progress. Additional- I don't think Amy is pregnant by the Dr. That would be just too low for him, but she might be pregnant by his doppeleganger or something sci-fi-ish equivalent , and if he has a doppelganger, then that is who we might have seen killed at the start of the series.
