        My boy has been wearing glasses since he was in P2.


        These days, I made him read under a bright table lamp, never lie down on the bed while reading, and having him wash his eyes every hour or so of reading.

        So far, the results have been good. He used to have his short-sightedness worsen by a 100 degrees per year. Now his eyesight have stabilised, although he is still only in secondary school.

          Would you able to tell what is the degree equivalent for 6/12 and 6/09?

                Not kiasu.... just being concerned.

                BTW, we used to bring DS1 to thomson for Eye Massage by a TCM. Diligently went there once a week for 2 yrs. But no use lei. That was when his power is 300. Every 10 session is $300.

                We also tried Eye Relax. After trying for 6 mths, his power increased by 200.

                Dunno what to do lah. Just leave it to destiny lah.

                  For kids who are older, try contact lenses and preferably the daily disposable ones if they are not suffering from high astig.


                  Mine use to go up until I changed to contacts. It went down slightly and stabilised. Same thing for my younger sis.

                  My niece has pretty bad myopia too and the optometrist also suggested contact lenses for better control. Problem is she has high astig as well and was prescribed permeable hard lens which were very uncomfortable so she refuses to wear them.

                    Hi there, I am not too sure how old is your child. To change the glasses 3 or 4 times over a year, the frequency seems high. I think you may like to talk to your child on how to take care of his/her glasses. Perhaps, you need to look into glasses specifically that suits him/her more. My daugther has prescribed a new pair of glasses lately and it costs $98 - plastic half frame with designs. It stated manufactured in Japan.

                    Hi, May I know where did you buy the spectacle. It is not expensive. I just get one for my girl or $120.00 - -also plastic half frame no design.

                        I heard tat this eye blinking problem can b solved thru tcm. Maybe u can bring ur child to a Chinese physician.
