This Girl Has To Wear An Eyepatch, So Her Dad Tries To Make The Best Of It

Father and Redditor, nicknamed Gfgrubb, tries to make the best out of a bad situation by doodling cool drawings on his daughter’s eye patch.

According to her father, Layla was born with a small cataract that clouds the vision in her right eye. In order to help the injured eye develop correctly, the little girl has to wear the patch over her strong eye for two hours every day. The patching at this early age prevents amblyopia or the lazy eye disorder, where the vision in one eye does not fully develop during childhood.

As her father comments, baby girl Layla gets irritated quite easily while wearing the eyepatch, so it’s not as easy as it may look.

We can just hope that this little girl’s eye will get better soon. Kudos to her dad for finding creative ideas to make daddy’s girl feel better.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
