Hi,
My son (P6) and I have been using eye relax since 2006. It helps my long/short sight problems. Been using daily.

Son uses it on alternate days and i believe it slows down his worsening myopia.

The company sometimes sends me vouchers for redemption. Do email me if interested.

I do know brands has one supplement to http://www.brandsworld.com.sg/main.aspx?sid=109, but I have not tried that yet.

I have tried that on my kid, so far, seem like it have some effect, not sure if it a placebo effect though :roll:

My niece and nephew are also taking it. Before taking it the eye test was not satisfactory, after taking it for a while, my nephew eye test improved.

Guardian is having offer...instead of $22 per pack, they are selling in bundles of 4 packs at $66. But my husband said that our genetics are already working against us, and whether it will really help :roll:

I just brought my Ds1 back from checking his eyes at paediatric opthalmologist. He is just 4.5 y.o but already has myopia and astigmatism.. Maybe it is true genetic, my husband and I started to have glasses when we were in lower primary.


The doctor said he might need glasses now or the sooner we decide to let him have it. I almost cried during the eye test when seeing him can't read most of the numbers on the wall... (I know he already can read numbers and all alphabets). Really don't know what to do.. :?: Just feel pity of him, he is still so young but needs glasses soon, must be very uncomfortable..

I would say it is not really working for her.

Basically seems like there are lots of reasons, but I don't understand why Singapore children myopia rate is one of the highest in the world. I worried for my kid, hope they don't ear glasses

A lot of factors caused the singapore kids myopia. such as singapore hot weather limited the child to go outdoor long enough, academic driven society, city environment (room small, narrow space between buildings), not using eye correctly, etc..
basically, the eye never been trained to see far, only to see near, therefore near-sighted.

My kid had good eyesight when the school did a check in mid-2008. Before 2008 ends, she has to wear glasses. I suspect the classroom environment (white board, lighting, projector, etc) is the main culprit.

My son was diagnosed with astigmatism when he was in K1. We were told that it was hereditary (both my husband and I have the condition) so do

take note. I was not aware that eye problem could be hereditary.
