What a good eye-dea! Dad draws different cartoon characters on daughter's eye-patch every day to make her recovery from cataract fun <br /> <br /> A devoted Dad has turned his daughter's boring old eye-patches into something far cuter. <br /> Geof Grubb's 18-month-old daughter Layla was born with a cataract in her right eye and has to wear a patch over her left one to strengthen the poor eye.<br /> Little Layla must put a patch on for two hours a day until she's four to and it is hoped it will stop her from needing to have surgery.<br /> <br /> Geof, who lives in Illinois, draws a new patch every day and has gathered hundreds of followers online but says he isn't worried about running out of ideas.<br /> 'We bought her some plain patches and I thought they were a little depressing. This was my way of making it fun,' he said.<br /> <br /> 'Layla doesn't really see them much because she's wearing them. She's happiest when she gets to take it off. I really like the Calvin and Hobbes patch personally because it reminds me of my childhood.'<br /> His designs, which have included Yoda, characters from The Simpsons and Star Wars, each take between 10 and 20 minutes to drawer.<br /> 'I have a running list of ideas that my wife and family helps me with. Sometimes I think I'm out of ideas but I always find inspiration somewhere. There's a ton of pop culture out there.'<br /> The stay at home dad has managed to post 105 images on Instagram and gathered over 1,600 followers. <br /> Layla was born with the cataract which does not need to be removed as her vision is expected to develop normally, using the patches instead.<br /> ©Exclusivepix Media
