Thanks Busymom & pojo for the info. Quite sad if ds really has to wear glasses when he's not even 7 yet.

Hello markfch, I know how you feel... DH was very upset when DD was confirmed myopic... You know la, girls... How to put on eye make-up when wearing glasses and still look good?... Anyway, there's always this thing called LASIK, so no need to worry since technology is so advanced...

my ds hs been wearing myovision spec for a year now… So far so gd. Previously he used to complain of headache and his degree will increase every 3 months.

Thanks HappyMama. Yeah, I just feel sorry for ds, so young must wear specs already. Was at Orchard in the morning so popped over to the Eye Clinic at Mount E. Confirmed ds has minor myopia plus slight astigmatism.

Then to Optical 88. Just now ds sooo vain when choosing glasses, haha.

Hi Markfch, did your ds see Dr Tony Ho at the eye clinic?

[markfch]

Yeah sall, saw him. Very good business he's having. Had to wait for an hr to see him.


He gave us a book - authored by him - about eye care for kids though (for free). So I'm not complaining

Your DS is so cute... I think generally kids like to wear specs. My DD was very happy choosing her specs too. We made at Mee Mee (Bt Timah Plaza) as it could be ready within 30 minutes.

By the way, my DD has astig too. :sad:

We went to the Eye Centre at Mt E instead. DD also has a slight astig in addition to myopia. Did you choose the MyoVision lenses for your DS?

Busymom:

Did you choose the MyoVision lenses for your DS?

No, cos doc advised that ds's myopia is considered quite mild.

I see. I went straight for Ortho K lens as I'm highly myopic.. haha so kiasu a bit, just to maintain her eye-sight as best as possible. But at the end of the day, there is only so much I can do as I can't be around her the whole day to remind her of her reading/writing posture and when not to read or when to take a break... :roll:
