All About Kids' Eye-sight

[shurley197323]

Myovision is only suitable for those with low degree. I had previously check for my girl but they say she is not suitable for Myovision as her eyesight is about 500 degree per eye.

Do anyone give any kind of eyes supplement for kids ? Any recommendations ?

Hi, my son was on atropine since Feb this year.

His eye sight was deterioriating every 3-6 months. It was finally under controlled since we started him on atropine this year. He is still on the eye drops. So far so good **keeping fingers crossed** Next visit to the Dr will be in Sep.

any parents any experience with 3M polarizing lights and inverter light?

I saw them at Carrefour, 3M polarizing is sold at S$209 (quite bulky) and the Panasonic inverter light is sold at $75.

the price difference is big... but polarizing light really worth to buy ? :?

TIA

Dear parents,


Need some advise, my son was advised to consult optometrist/optician for further assessment. He is 14 years old, so far his eyes were good since young. I don’t know where to get him refer to optometrist? Any one can recommend?

If I just walk in to any spectacles, will they do the assessment? Are they professional enough to do the test?

Thanks!

I asked SNEC doctor. She said possible side effect but really no way to find out for sure until years later. Don't know what kind of side effect though

Hi

I believe you may be referring to the MyoVision lenses recently in the news - http://news.xin.msn.com/en/singapore/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4038363

Seems studies have shown that it can help slow down the progression rate of myopia.

Any parents with kids on MyoVision lenses? Effective?

Hi hamster,

maybe you can try to book an appointment at the refraction clinic at Health Promo board? I think it's under Student Health/Care Services.

Alternatively, can try my optician, Koh Lian Buck at Pearl's Optical - concourse. His specs not cheap but he's fairly thorough
