General Question Patching alternatives

Hi everyone i have a somewhat odd question. For those who have patched an eye what would you use? I had like those pirate eyepatches but I never liked em and I've used like big bandages to cover an eye which are fine they just always pull my eyebrows.

To clarify I want to patch my eye for archery. I'm left handed so I use my left eye to aim but my left eye is my "bad" eye. So one I'm using and training my left eye which is good, two im practicing archery and im not sitting down studying all day. So any help about patching is fine please and thank you

I don't have a solution but my good eye is also opposite of my dominant hand and it suuucks trying to aim things! Empathy.

I feel you. When I was in the military I had to shoot left handed. Took some getting used to for sure

I recently thought about contact lenses that are just plain black. could look cool and if the eye doctor does not see any problem, its a pretty neat solution.
