However, that never worked for me, as my right eye was so very weak, it wasn't able to track well enough when the left was covered for me to be functional. I always covered the right eye.
Hope this helps.

Mine's being caused because my two eyes can't converge. Using a patch made my good eye shut for some reason, but tape let light into both eyes and I can keep the good eye open.
The lenses my doctor just made and I haven't picked up yet have a special prism that lifts everything higher, he said he rarely uses it, but noticed I converge better when I don't look down. I'm afraid its going to cause more ptosis, though.
I'll try it, but in the end, I think I'm going to end up either a darkened lens or a frosted lens. Post it note may be worth trying though. Thanks.
