COVER TREATMENT

"practice of the lazy eye with cover"

THE CLASSIC EYEPATH IN SKIN-COLOR
FREQUENTLY SEVERAL CHILDREN OUT OF ONE FAMILY MUST OCCLUDE ONE EYE, BECAUSE THE REASONS FOR OCCLUSION ARE HEREDITARY

TREATMENT WITH COVER

Covering the good eye is the most efficient way to a worse eye (by strabismus, glasses or eye problems) so the exercise will look better (maybe even as good as the best for now). If glasses must be worn, the patch should be glued to the skin and the glasses worn above it. If strabismus is the cause of the worse seeing of an eye, it may be that the former standing for strabismus is sometimes when the bad eye will look better. This is a good sign because it indicates that the brains have no preference for a more selective use of the eyes.

TIPS FOR COVER
HOW: To avoid cheating, is a patch on the skin advisable, rather than covering a glass. Only in exceptional circumstances (eg during a period of damaged skin), the latter can be allowed. Best use "Ortopad" or "Opticlude Eye patches (good stick, skin color), you can get without a prescription. The patch should fit snugly without cheat holes. Best, therefore you some flips on the nose side of the patch, so who better to the shape of the face can change. You can save money through such a patch to make yourself, request a role "Mefix" patch to the pharmacist. It cut a large and a small oval, you stick together, and if you have a patch, similar to the Opticlude patch.
If only partial days must be covered is best at night covered in a period when the child is working intensively visual (watching TV, video games, stringing beads, coloring, puzzles. Tinting certain letters in a newspaper is a good exercise for school children. Covering while eating, it makes little sense having little visual activity requires effort). Sometimes, it is best covered during school hours, although this included a psychological burden for the child. Please contact the teacher at least. Cover in school is easiest when children are quite reluctant towards the patch. When the teacher they dare not refuse regulated and controlled, there are other kids who have a patch on.

MOTIVATION:
Make your child know that the patch is for the view of the lazy eye to improve. Occasionally a reward (and sometimes even criminal) can support your child. Cover the eye of a doll or bear down to child support. Suggest it as a game ("We zeerovertje (Pirate Pete) playing"). A child is sometimes extremely proud to be walking around with a patch with a picture of daddy or mommy. If the child is always the patch will subtract (particularly in young children), a armspalk (eg the arm in a roll of paper towels stabbing) or a solid patch (Poroplast the firm Stella in Liege, be ordered from the pharmacy) wonders do.
The parents must be motivated! Know therefore that the lazy eye exercise leads to a better understanding ("practice makes perfect"), while for any results would be worse if nothing is done. The period for the sixth year of life is the most crucial period, because only then a good facial aging can be obtained (ie development of the brains, so the optimal use ooginformatie). Know that some hedge strabismus generation or strabismus can increase. This risk certainly weighs against the risk of having only one good eye through life to be. An accident happened soon after all. Also know that the hedge in the beginning intensively (to cover day and night) will be done in order to exercise the lazy eye. Later 1h per day regularly enough to maintain the visual result and up to the eighth year (even though the eye of strabismus surgery for example). Otherwise, the eye back worse. After eight years can not. Therefore it is: UNDER 8 YEARS: If you see a bad eye glasses (and possibly a patch) wear ... OVER 8 YEARS: If one eye sees well, you should not wear glasses.
