For those who wear an eye patch regularly — how did you originally find out what worked for you?

I'm curious about how people actually figure this out after losing vision in one eye, developing double vision/light sensitivity, or having another reason to cover one eye.

When you first started looking for a solution, where did you go for information?

Google? Reddit? Your ophthalmologist/optometrist? YouTube? Facebook groups? Amazon/Etsy reviews? Somewhere else?

And what made you eventually choose the type of eye patch you use now — comfort, light blocking, appearance, ability to wear it with glasses, price, doctor's recommendation, or something else?

I'm especially interested in the journey before the purchase, rather than particular brands.
