	'''Patching''' is the practice of covering one eye to be able to give stimulus to the other eye, independently. This is most often applied to activate the non dominant eye (also see [[ocular dominance]]). If one eye is improving faster than the other, or if you started with a large gap in [[refractive state]] between the two eyes, you might patch the "good" eye and try to [[active focus]] with just the "bad" eye for short periods.

	This technique is generally not recommended when first starting out with EM methods. This is an advanced technique frequently used during [[equalizing]], when equalizing it is typically best to do a few spherical reductions first, though there can be exceptions.

			It has been suggested that switching eyes for some of your patching sessions can be beneficial as well. In this variation you would alternate in a session to patch the "weaker" eye and this would signal this eye to work harder when the obstruction is removed.

			Remember always that your vision is a binocular system and that your primary goal is to stimulate your binocular vision. Excessive patching is not recommended.
