EJ, unfortunately not, we visit a children's hospital in Sydney.
Honestly I'm surprised they stopped patching so quickly, from what we've been told the older they get the slower the change but the change will happen with consistency.
When dd was 2yrs we visited an opt for her eye, the advice we got was to put pictures on the wall then lay her down with her weakened eye nearest to the wall. Apparently the expectation was that she would lay there and use her eye to look at said pictures. We laughed that dr off, saying she obviously didn't know the difference between a newborn and a 2yr old. Sadly this particular dr was the child behavioural optho for our area.
Another dr told us that because in his opinion we couldn't afford the surgery there was no point in him putting dd on his waiting list.
