We are in the same boat cos my DD's hitting 1000 soon but she's in Sec 1. I never fail to worry about her eyesight since she started being myopic. SIGH!
Now giving her supplements like cod liver oil, bilberry, blueberry and wolfberry (eyes massage twice a day too). Very kiasu right!

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.

It's bad habit. My son's bad habit continued till P3. It'll go away.
