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.

Oh dear, now I'm a Mathsmaster? :? no lah, I prefer to be called mathsmummy. sparks only cannot be = to master.

When we first started, we used it daily, then alternate days. Now I use daily while my son uses it only on weekends.

it started 2 days back, my ds1 keep blinking his eyes. he said it is irritation, so can i use eyedrop on him? not sure if it is irritation or case of bad habit.

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

CJS,
any chinese physician recommendations? preferably in the west.
TIA.

CKS,
how long did your boy had this before it went away? TIA.

hie everyone


i just send my son to the Student Health Centre at HPB Refraction Clinic today and he was diagnosed with myopia of 100 and 125 degree.

When I went in there they dont use the heavy equipment that I usually use at my optometrist to check my eye sight. Use the simple machine where we placed our chin and the normal reading out of the letters.

Are these readings accurate ?

Has anyone’s children been referred there and given a spectacles prescription from them ?

Thank u so much for sharing


Worried, suspicious parent

DS1 tend to do this also. Once at GP (family one), DH asked Doctor what could be done. Doctor immediately reply, \"oh, then have to take out the whole eyeball\".


At that, DS1 looked with eyes big big....not daring to blink.

i tried to do the scare tactic, but the grandma had to go and tell the scared boy that my threats are nonsense. :roll:
