In general, patients with strabismus do not need to wear an eye patch. The fundamental treatments for strabismus include surgery, medication, or wearing a suitable pair of corrective glasses. Therefore, if you have strabismus, do not rely on wearing an eye patch. Instead, seek medical attention early, undergo comprehensive examinations for strabismus, eye movement function, and diplopia, and actively pursue treatment during the critical period of visual development to improve the chances of successful correction.
