Four Eyes (Part 2)

Just when I thought our “four eyes” saga was over, it turns out our younger son not only needs eye correction but also has a slightly lazy eye since one eye is much better than the other.  So his optometrist wants him to start wearing a patch over his left (stronger) eye, half-time.  His right eye, the weaker of the two, needs more practice which is why we need to patch his good eye.  So sad.  I don’t know what to call my boy now.  He’s certainly not four eyes anymore.  Maybe three eyes?  Or back to two eyes?  Pirate eye?  Whatever it is, I still think he’s cute!

Initially, we stopped by the drugstore but didn’t find a Band-Aid type of patch for his eye that the optometrist suggested.  So after some searching the web, I decided to make a custom eye patch for my boy.  I found an awesome eye patch tutorial.  I love technology!  I immediately went to work and came up with an eye patch for my boy.

Here’s my cutie with his eye patch:

Just call him Jack Sparrow. That’s a good pirate name. ;-)


You are very creative, Lois. I never would have thought of the star. I’ll bet he likes it. (?)


Very cute. And . . .
I’m glad you guys found this out at his age. We found out, this past fall, that our eldest has a lazy eye but it more than likely cannot be fixed. We were told that had he worn glasses, etc. before he was 6 it could have been corrected.


You are just the coolest Pirate Mom a boy could have! Wow, color coordinated eye patches! You could probably sew a felt hat to go with it, and really make his day!
