Reply to comment by AirborneRodent in ELI5: When scientists say babies have blurred vision, how do they know? by DreadMCYT

That's what happened to my little brother. One of his eyes was "weaker" than the other and his brain mostly gave up with it. Around 10 or 11, the optometrist suggested he wear an eyepatch on his good eye to force his brain to re-engage his bad eye. It mostly worked. Could've helped more, but he wasn't very consistent with it because he obviously had a hard time seeing.

You just learned me that, during my childhood i saw some childrens with a patch on one eye, it all makes sense now ! It's very facinating to see how the brain work
