This is commonly referred to as an \'eye patch\'; it is for correcting what is known as a \'lazy eye\' (my brother, for example, had to wear one for a few years when he was a boy). The patch causes one eye - the \'lazy eye\' - to work harder, thus strengthening it.

Note: \'eye occlusion patch\', or simply \'eye patch\' appears to be a much more commonly used term than \'plaster\'. See the following link:
