All About Kids' Eye-sight

hi wormy and KL28, which doc are you seeing in SNEC?

Hi Fur-ma


Sounds like a good find. The optician is kind enough to suggest 1.5 for the lower power side. Though i complained about the glare from the eye drops, my kids seemed fine with the glare. Hopefully some day a magic potion b invented to cure myopia.

Oh how I wish that day will come soon.

In the meantime, it's great to find support amongst mothers with similar situation. Thanks for sharing tips.

hi happyavon,


did ur child put atropine eyedrop after her visit with dr yvonne ling? effectiveness?

Hi Barney8, the doctor did not prescribe any eyedrop for her yet during our last visit in January this year. Reason: Not a huge increase and administration of eyedrop can still be delayed. However, since my girl is sensitive to sunlight, Dr has given greenlight to give her transition lens. So we headed straight to our regular optician and got her a new pair of spectacle...She is so much comfortable with the transition lens especially under the glaring sun...Im not trying to exaggerate here but she is really so sensitive to sunlight that she is not able to open her eyes at all...

Our next visit will be in September and will see how it goes. If the degree has increased substantially, then I guess will be time for the eyedrop....

Just back from kkh review. Her degree has gone down slightly w the atropine drops and is back to her specs degree that was prescribed 5 months ago. Very happy.


As her specs is already the progressive type and the degree is correct, Dr says can use sunglasses clip on. Cips ons for kids are really hard to find. Anyone know where to get? I don’t mind adult types cut to size so long as they do the job. If really cannot find, Dr says need to spend on transition

How long your kid use the eye-drop? My kid just started 1 week, he looked like can cope with the glaring with his progressive plus transittions lens. Do you adjust the lighting to dimmer at home? or just leave it as usual?

My girl also started a week ago. Her current specs is progressive but not transitions. She doesn't complain about any glare. We make her wear a cap when she is outdoors and if it's really sunny, I shade her with an umbrella like a princess

The lights at home are yellow. We did not adjust.

How old is your kid? Is his degree as bad as my dd? Hers is R 575, astig 300 and she is a 2005 child

I used to see Daiso selling them, perhaps you try to find it there. Quality might not be very good.

I just called an optical shop in City Sq, JB. Trying my luck and hoping that the trend in Malaysia is behind Spore. Struck gold. The shop carries a range of clip ons for plastic and metal frames. The boss is very nice. When he heard that I’m in Spore, he suggested that I email him a picture of dd’s specs and he will advise the chances of his clip ons fitting her specs before I make a trip all the way down. Now keeping fingers and toes crossed that he has a suitable clip on. If so, it only costs RM20. Cheap cheap
