      Just did it this afternoon, keke. The optician at Takashimaya B1. He doesn’t need glasses, which is nice, but he’s complaining that the words jump around and is making him tired, which seems more tricky to deal with, hmmm.


      Has anybody ever heard of this? He’s still reading a tonne. These complaints are new, although he now says it’s been bothering him for a while. Why he never mentioned, I don’t know!

          I though kids now wear more classes because they watch too much TV or play too much computers


          not to forget, rich parents buy their kids PSP as young as P1.

          I have seen PSP with kids as young as 3!

              HPB gives K1 students in my kid’s kindy free checkup in the school itself and in K2 they will review the cases with eye problems.


              Did his school inform you?

                Actually we recently signed an authorisation form for my son to have his eyes checked when the HPB visits his school... I guess I should wait for their assessment then. 😎

                  You should not bring young kids to Opticians. Some may have pseudo-myopia and may end up with unnecessary glasses that damage their eyesight. Proper assessment should be done by an Opthalmologist. They would need to administer special eyedrops to assess the child's eyes appropriately.

I guess the appropriate step would be to:
                    1. Get an Opthalmologist's opinion.
                    2. If required, then go to an optician for prescription glasses.

                    Regards.
