      hi Jennifer,


      Many thanks for your kind advice.

      Yes seriously considering Myo vision lenses now. My girl is going on to P3 next year but her degree is 300+ on each side already. Cannot imagine if her degree keeps on increasing. By the way is it normal for the degree increase to be around 50 to 75 degrees every year?

      I have been nagging incessantly everyday on good eye-care habits. Apart from reading and doing schoolwork, and some TV, my girl does not play any computer games/I-games at all. Maybe we detected her short-sightedness too late..... :slapshead:
      I am unsure what's considered reasonable increase, just blindly accept what the optician said.

      U might want to consider getting your girl to look far at greenery after an hour of near sight work (like reading, doing sch work). Btw I notice some children bend very close to the desk while writing. Does your girl do that?

              Yes, my girl also does that, bends very close to the desk while writing. I ask my girl why is she kissing the book? :evil:

              Another issue is that for my girl's primary school, they are still in double session. So the P1/P3 and P2/P4 will share classrooms. As such, the height of the tables and chairs are not that tall. My girl is considered quite tall for her age, so she usually gets assigned to the seat at the back. And I also think that the table and chair a bit unsuitable for her....

              But what to do??? 🤷

                U might want to consider getting those back support strap for your child to use at home. I think it is available at some NTUC Unity Pharmacy.

                Though u cant control the sch environment, at least at home she maintains proper posture.

                  My boy wears his specs when doing this far sight training.

                    Brought DS1 to the optometrist. His eyesight deteriorated again. Haizzzzz. I asked the opto and he told me that those specs that supposed to help slow down did not quite work on his customers, so he’s since stopped recommending them. The only thing supposed to be more outdoor activities.


                    DS1 loves to read, watch tv. I am resigned to his fate. 😞

                      Just want to share my experience here…


                      I have brought my girl to 2 different optical shops - 1 shop mentioned +100/+75, the other shop mentioned +50/+75, both shops recommended a change of her current spectacles.

                      Wanting a 2nd and more objective opinion (since there is an inherent conflict of interest for optical shops not to recommend a new pair of specs), I brought my girl to TTSH for a thorough eye check-up, the optometrist there gave the assessment that there is no need for a new pair of specs, as her degree only increased by +25/+25.

                      So, my thoughts going forward will be to go for an optometrist in which you maybe have built up a relationship over the years rather than just walk into any optical shop as most likely the recommendation from such optical shop will be to change to a new pair of specs. I cannot imagine if I such take the recommendation of the earlier optical shops I went to and just changed the specs of my girl. It might caused her eye degree to escalate drastically…
