Tell me.<<<< Sorry bruce, the answer is, it doesn't work after a child is about 5-6 years old! Then if you try it later in life the nerve of the eye has deteriorated too far to be brought back. Wore the patch as a child and got thrown out of the class room for doing so.... remember this was in the olden days early 30's and anything that didn't fit into the class as perceived by the teacher or principal of the day, didn't matter what people think or can do today. And no, a note from the doctor meant diddily squat in those days. Some folks have better luck than others or the correction process is implemented early enough for recovery to some degree. Other's it just continues to become weaker and weaker. But in my case having basically one eye, it's been a God sent gift and helped me become the photographer I am. It's called thinking positive and to hell with the world. ;-) ted
