I have been diagnosed with amblyopia and suggested patching for 2 3 hours a day. I have 6/6 vision in right eye and 6/18 in left eye..will patching help in this age(24). I have read for amblyopia, the treatment in childhood is effective...I was diagnosed in the age of 16..I'm doing patching also...I work in IT sector job..so find it difficult to take out hours for patching..I do it after work or before leaving for work. I see floaters ..afterimages in vision ...specially at night..and in bright lights...I have light sensitivity also. I'm stressed due to this and have IBS D also which gets triggered due to this stress. Will I lose my vision in the amblyopia eye? Can you suggest some eye exercises to do..

Patching is not likely to help at this age, your brain would have adapted already. You can try BSV exercises to get better depth perception.

Patching won't help at your age. Your binocular vision should be fine as you have good vision in your right eye so don't worry. You can discontinue patching. Your brain has developed well by now and it knows how to ignore the lesser vision of your left eye. So nothing has to be done further.
