How long each day do i need to cover up my good eye in order to make my lazy eye stronger?

Amblyopia: If you are beyond the age of 6 (to 10) years old this is useless therapy. Before the age of 6 yrs continuous patching is required and the improvement monitored. When there ceases to be any benefit from the patching, there is usually underlying disease other than amblyopia.
