To all of you parents out there that are dealing with the day to day struggles of patching please don't give up. I know first hand how hard patching is. I've cried many tears when my son would rip of his eye patch and throw it on the ground. But if you give up on patching then your giving up on your child. Sooner or later your child will realize that they are not going to get their way and will hopefully just keep the patch on because they are tired of fighting with you. You have to be stronger than them for their own good. As kids they don't understand why you are making them wear this, but as adults they will love you for it when they know how much you went through to help them. Stay strong.
