We saw an optometrist for Raphael the first time today. He spent a bit of time examining the behaviour of Raphael's left eye. We were very happy with the large amount of time that he gave to us but, after careful examination, his summary was the same as what all the other eye professionals have been telling us.
There is little very little research on the benefits of eye patching to improve the vision of an eye with extensive physical defects. Simply there is no chance for the left eye to be visually active while his right eye is so useful to him.
The only benefit that could be achieved in improving the vision in his left eye is that, in the unlikely event of him losing his sight in his right eye, his left eye will at least have the best vision possible.
