All About Kids' Eye-sight

My 2cts - have been using eye relax myself. It stops the lao hua/mypoia from worsening. Son also uses it and his mypoia has stabilised the last 2 years.

Hi Mathsmaster


How often do you use the eye relax? I have that but DD2 still get myopia. She used to use it only once a day, some days skipping. Now i make her use it twice a day.

Hi Usaik


Where do you send your child for the assessment?

Hi Happybirdks,

My child had 2 separate assesments.

(1) One by an optomerist at his optical shop with the intention to get an ortho-k lens early last year. But after the assessment, he wasn't found to be suitable. We walk away with a pair of glasses instead. His optical shop is at AMK. We have not been there ever since, so I need to find the shop name and address for you.

(2) Another one was very recently, we sent him to see an eye clinic. Upon assessment by the optomerist at the clinic and the doctor, we enrolled him for the programme. This programme does not treat myopia, it just control it- just like the ortho-k lens. I can share the clinic and the programme with you. As I am seeing others not posting the details of their practitionar directly on the forum, guess I can't too.... So will send PM to you the details then!

The other assesment I sent my son to is actually the atropine treatment. I have send the details of the Ophthalmologist and his clinic to you already.

I started to wear spectacles when I was in secondary 2. Slightly myopic but my eyesights steadily worsen year by year. When I was in JC 2, with the introduction of soft lens, I change from spectacle to contact lens. The degrees remain till today.


My dd started wearing glasses too. Not suitable for ortho-k lens, so might buy her contact lenses by end of this year. She's excited on wearing glasses :faint: Let the novelty sinks in first. Definitely will go for daily lenses.

Has anyone ever heard of this vision training method to improve one's eyesight - http://www.vision-training.com/ ?


Just wondering how effective it is, as heard that the trainer (Leo Angart - who is listed on the website as the one who came up with this method) is coming into town to conduct some sessions. The sessions are rather pricey though at S$395/- for two 3 hour sessions.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
