how old is ur child? my optician said waste money if too young wear myovision. I am also lost

She is 8 yrs old (Pri 2). I went to another optician and she advised me to let her tried normal multi coated lens for 3 mths, if her degree maintain than she can wear Myovision. I can only wait and pray hoping she will maintain her degree.

Can I seek your guidance on astigmatism? What causes increases in degree of astigmatism? How to prevent further increases in astigmatism degree?

Many thanks…

what is the reason for doing normal len and if degree maintained then can try myovision?

The reason she gave is because of the price of the Myovision lens. She is afraid that if my DD can't even maintain her degree for 3 mths and don't take care her eyes, even if she is wearing Myovision lens, her degree will still increase and I will be wasting $$.

Hi Kitty_mum,
My dd was 7.5 yrs old when she started with Myovision. From what I read, Myovision will slow down the increase of the myopia. Possibly, the effect is not the same across all children so the optician is wary to advise on its use.

:?
normal optician always say the lense didn't help to reduce myopia or worsen it. but if we observe from our daily life,
normal lense can cause the eye sight getting worse in faster speed unless the eyeball stop growing.

Whether myovision works or not (reduce 30% of myopia progression), this question can only be answered by parents whose kids worn normal lense before, and currently wearing myovision lense now. Anyone can feedback on this?

I read this thread, hoping to find answers for the use of reading glasses - as opposed to distance glasses, and am surprised that no one has mentioned it.


Has anyone come across this website? http://www.preventmyopia.org/index.html

I've asked around optical shops in my area, and sure enough, none suggests the use of reading glasses. Perhaps not enough research has been done to prove, or perhaps, using this method really sends the optical business to doom?

i have been using this method for my myopia girl before. due to inconsistency of use, not sure the effect.

if the child is discipline enough, i think it should work.
if you happen to try, pls share with us the result.
