If anyone from the Glass team happens to read this:

A very good friend of mine has an uncorrectable problem that basically gives him double vision all the time. I got Glass for him as a gift, and it changed his life. Emails, text messages, directions, all over a single eye so it was clear. Thanks for pushing a much needed update so he can start using them again.

I think he meant a litteral patch over one of the eyes, not a software patch.

Not sure of you are being cheeky but I think they mean eye patch.

I've got that problem; it's correctable either with prim glasses, or with surgery to tighten up some of the muscles that control your eyes

You can also do some practice with 3d pictures to build up better control. I made a thing for that that uses red/cyan 3d glasses. http://web.uvic.ca/~jhedin/Other%20Work/tranaglyphs/

I have double vision due to an astigmatism that caused amblyopia. My optometrist said that the astigmatism is correctable with surgery or glasses, but I would need to train the eye with physical therapy to deal with the amblyopia which wasn't guaranteed to work since it wasn't detected early on in my childhood. I've never bothered since I'm so used to double vision it never bothers me. Have you had luck improving the double vision?

I believe his condition is neurological. I'll definitely pass on your link though!
