I notice quite a number of posting here asking about the effectiveness of eye relax. Let me share my experience…


My 6 yo son visited HPB on 29 Sep and was prescibed with specs - 75 deg on each eye plus astig of 50 deg. Got him a pair of specs as prescribed and an eye relax 2 device as well. It came with an eye chart to monitor improvement. His eyesight was recorded as 0.6 or abt 6/9 at the start. After 10 days, he managed to read line 0.8 or 6/7.5… a mark improvement. At the last check ie about 20 days after, he is still reading line 0.8 well. Will certainly update if his eyesight can improve to 6/6.

Thanks for all the inputs/sharing.


CCKian, what brand of eye relax did you buy and how often does your son use everyday? Does your son put on glasses everyday? It’s really a big improvement just after 10 days of using the device. I read from some articles saying that eyes will get worse if we keep putting on glasses especially reading books in near distance because glasses prescribed is for seeing far distance. Not sure whether is it advisable to put on glasses when reading/writing or watching tv. Anyone have ideas when to let your children wear glasses or you will let them to wear all days. I should have brought my children for eye check one year ago. My advice to other mummies is bring your child for eye check up at 3 year old.

As a kid, my mum did not allow me to wear glasses when I was reading a book. It did not help at all My degree went up by 50-100/yr per side! & I was a bookworm, reading Nancy Drew books (I used to finish 2-3 books per day).


Only stablised when I was in Sec Sch (stopped reading storybooks :p).

He uses it twice a day. Each time 8 mins per eye.


He is not wearing specs for now.

Bought the eye relax 2 at S$705.

My friend just shared with me a supplement which is good for eye sight.She told me her kids do not need to put on spectacles after taking it.Her mum who has long sighted and cateract also free from opearation.The product is called super lutein which contains 6 different types of carotene, cassis extracts, Vitamin B, Vitamin E, and DHA.


SUPER LUTEIN contains carotene which has been considered as one of the most important components of “phytochemical” in recent years. It is also known as the seventh nutrient essential for optimal health. The other six nutrients are protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and fibre respectively. Carotene, which is found in carrots and spinach, and Lutein from tea leaves and grape wine are examples of phytochemical nutrients. Other examples of phytochemical nutrients include Lycopene and Anthocyanidins found in tomatoes and blueberries, and Flavanone found in beans. To date, thousands of phytochemical nutrients have been discovered.

In the past, five major essential nutrients for optimal health usually refer only to protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Vegetable fiber was included as the sixth essential nutrient not long after. In recent years, with increasing research being done on active oxygen, phytochemical nutrient, the seventh essential nutrient, has become increasingly more important.
