Lauda89 I've not heard of fluxarten, is that a steroid? I was given steroidal drops a few years ago and for a week I was able to work with no pain--it was awesome. Unfortunately it can't be used with regularity. I also tried it a second time a few months later and it didn't really work at all.

PhilG No it's not. This is the active principle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flunarizine
5mg is not enough for me, i need 10mg or is useless.
hello. thanks for your sharing. i have started patching my dominant eye as of today ( for about 3 hours of computer use) and have one question. did you get strain on your patched eye?
like it seems that the eye that i am using is pain free but the one that is patched hurts as usual even with 0 screen contact. @mike

PhilG This worries me that patching is making my binocular vision even worse, yet it's the only thing that allows me to function at work. Any thoughts or adviice?
I ran this question by my neurologist, my ophthalmologist, and my nuero ophthalmologist. All three of them said that patching is completely safe an there is no evidence it causes any negative side effects. The only thing the cautioned against was driving while wearing an eye patch since it limits your peripheral vision out of the patched eye nd that can be dangerous.
My vision therapists have recommended
In my experience "vision therapists" are simply eye doctors who want to charge you more money for bunk "vision therapy" that doesn't actually work and is just a bunch of mumbo jumbo pseudoscience. It's telling that medical insurance doesn't cover it.
@mike did you have any device in your life that you can’t adjust by patching? I recently bought MacBook Pro m3 pro with mini led display and it’s the first device which I can’t use even with one eye covered. It gave me photophobia, and I don’t know what to do. Maybe you’ve got some advices? Patching changed my life and I can use any device with one eye closed instead of this particular one
Is there any risk to my vision if I use an eye patch every day? I'm really afraid of destroying my eyes...
I have this thought, isn't it the case that the eyeglass correction makes it more difficult for us to get used to the screens? When we cover one eye, we force the other eye, (among other thing), to align properly, which may be hindered by the very correction in the glasses and/or the misaligned centers of the lenses relative to the eyeballs. Has anyone thought about these? Maybe if (in theory) we didn't have glasses and patched one eye, it would be easier and faster for us to adopt and cure the problem? What do you think about it?
is there a tutorial video how to do it ?
my lazy eyes in left, my dominance eye is right than i cover my right eyes right ? how long a day ?if i close my right eyes is it the same with patch right eyes ? because is kinda embarasing using eyes patch in public room,if closing right eye is the same with patch right eyes ?
hansennnnn Hi, it’s so individual with training. Patching and the screen/lights used for training.
Start patching the lazy eye, and look at a screen that doesn’t work for you. Do what feels comfortable, and don’t overdo it. Begin with some minutes and level up.
