My girl was having perfect eye sight in K2, mid P1, suddenly have 200 degree and now she complained that she cant see, we just brought her to hv a check days ago and her degree was 300. i am trying on myovision, hopefully it stop increasing that fast.

My DD is quite similar to your DD, she is P3, and just have her 3rd pair of glass with 325. I was so worry about that. Both my DH and I have perfect eys sight, why my DD got the problem. Need to find a good way to help her.

My DS is trying the myovision so far so good…

Hi,

this myovision = myopilux right?
How long have your child been using it? My girl P4 has been changing her specs ~every 6months since 1.5 year ago. Very visit it's a 50-75 increase. We just checked her eyesight yesterday, it's now 300/325 (4.5 months & again another 50-75 increase). Scary. Optician suggest we try the myopilux lens but I'm not convinced as there seem to be little feedback/review on it. Also, it's rather costly hence better make sure it's good

Would really appreciate getting some comments from those who have tried it or still using. Is it effective? Do you see any slowing down? Etc. I was quoted range of $250-$400 just for basic lens.....is that the norm?
Thanks.

I dun know whether myovision = myopilux right. DS has been using it since last year. So far so good…

What is myovision or myopilux? Is it something like progressive lens? :?

[Herbie]

Hi sall, may be you can do a search using google. I dun wear specs so i dun know whether myovision = progressive lens. So sorry! But basically ds the glass is meant to help to control his degree from increasing.

MyBaby:

[quote=\"barney8\"]Mybaby, did your DD need to get spectacles when her degree was 25 and 75?

Yes, we got spectacles for her as her opthalmologist's opinion was that DD should not strain her eyes. Moreover, DD loves to read.

Hi MyBaby,

I do not think your daughter's opthalmologist's opinion is right. As long as she can see she does not need to wear spectacles, especially 'near work'. Spectacles only make eyesight worse. You may search on the web or join
[email protected]. I did a lot of search on the web since my daughter has myopia. Your daughter's degree is so low, she gets a chance to restore her perfect vision.[/quote]Hi I believe,

Can you advise how low is your daughter's degree that she got to restore her perfect vision and how you do it? Is it with myovision?
My DD is P2 & recently got diagnosised with myopia at 100/125.

Many thanks

hi,


I am not sure what is myovision or myopilux. hope those whose kid is using can share some lights.

My boy now 6yo also has myopia and is increased at every half a year… very upset. Doc has suggested using multi XX len (not sure the name) to reduce the speed of progression. We then check with another doc who do not quite agreed in using that kind of lens as he think such lens will have different power on the lens that helps the eyes to adjust to what he wanna see clearly. Meaning, the eyes need not sprain too hard to see things. Seems good but doc’s comment, the eyes have no chance to exercise or stretch (far / near), all dependance on the lens which is no no to eye’s health.

Some comments from the thread saying too much TV, computer, ipod etc. is not quite correct as my boy does not play or watch much of that. Have been very careful since young to sit up when reading books, good posture etc… but but nothing of my effort have helped me avoid him from myopia. Heart sank when I learnt about his eye sight!!!

Actually I really dun know which school of thots to 'subscribe' to. My 2 kids P4 & P5, both wears glasses. While the son spends a lot more time on computers, tv etc, his myopia stablize at 50 with some astig. The girl, altho spends much lesser less time on computers has to change her glasses every half year. She's now 300/325.


However, I do notice this.....my son can just let go.....but my girl strained to see everything clearly, however insignificant the thing may be. But again, isn't this a form of 'exercise' for the eye since she will attempt to focus at everything?

Then back to the BIG question, will the myopilux lens helps cos' my understanding is that it's a 2-in-1 where different powers are used for far and near.....but then, eye dun exercise.
