      Bringing my son to the refraction clinic tomorrow. Most likely he will need glasses as I "tested" him by asking him to read words from a distance. Any recommendations from optical shop that provide good range of glasses and services for kids? Thanks.

        Are you going to a private refraction clinic? You can check with the clinic if they have some recommended optical shops.


        I got some names from the the clinic and I went to Capitol Optical eventually.

          Going to the Health Promotion Board (I think) refraction clinic for students (the one that is referred from school). Anyone been there? Was it able to recommend optical shops? Thanks.

                after my girl checkup @ HPB, they actually refer my girl to KKH. I recalled they gave me 3 choices : KKH, NUH and ??



                The result from HPB is almost the same as KKH.
                Mabe you can get refer letter from HPB.

                  Hi


                  My gal just went to HPB last month and she has to be on glasses. Her reading is 250 per eye. You will be given a reading by the optometrist in HPB and you just need to bring the reading to any optical shop, no need to have eye tested again.

                  We went to Optical 88 and made a pair of glasses for $120. Later, when we shop around, we realise Spectacle Hut selling cheaper and nicer children's frames. You may want to go have a look.

                  I also bought a Eye Relax machine for her, hopefully can reduce her power......it's quite expensive, around $624 if you are a Popular Member.......

                    Hi,

                    Just came back from the HPB refraction clinic this afternoon. Right eye 100 degree; left eye ok. Does anyone know whether is 100 degree considered serious or just slightly myopic?

                    Hi dilemma, what's an Eye Relax machine? How does it work? Has it been effective so far? Thanks.

                      Hi


                      You may go to this website eyecollege.com.

                      I still cannot tell if it is effective coz my gal only starts using 3 weeks ago, have to use for at least 3 months. You can call this lady, her name is Rain Su, she will be in a better position to advise you. She had been very patient with me as I asked her a lot of questions before I decide to buy.
