"The Patch" is children's author Justina
Headley's 32-page picturebook story about Becca, a little girl who
must deal with a condition known as Amblyopia or 'lazy eye',
and whose eye doctor prescribes new glasses and the wearing of an eye
patch over her good eye to help her lazy eye grow stronger. Amblyopia, or
"lazy eye," is another condition found in children. Researchers identified 507 children with amblyopia and randomly
assigned half of them to wear a patch from 2 to 6 hours a day for 24
weeks. |
