One?technique that I use is partial patching of the eye by using transpore tape (found in most nursing stations)? I simply place the tape on the medial aspect of the patient's pair of glasses.? This will compensate for the double vision but at the same time allow stimulation to the eye to prevent problems and lack of peripheral vision.

Let them help the person first. I know we work with developmental/ neuroptometrists in our area. First see if they can correct for it, prisms, special patiching, etc. Does the person get it all the time? Is it just from vision or also from vestibular issues?
