ANS: D
The good eye is patched to force the child to use the bad eye, thus strengthening the muscles. The patch should always be applied directly to the child's face, not to eyeglasses. The patch should be left in place even when the child is sleeping. Covering the bad eye will not contribute to strengthening it. The good eye should be patched.
