patching is the use of an eye patch or occlusive covering to block vision in one eye or to protect the eye. It is commonly used in pediatric eye care for amblyopia (“lazy eye”) and in general ophthalmology for temporary comfort or protection. Depending on the goal, a patch may be opaque, translucent, or protective rather than vision-blocking. The exact approach varies by clinician and case.
