Hi cherrygal,


G3 is one of the top selling products from Nu Skin. My husband is a member, so we can get better price.

Hi peggy,

R you also a member from Nu Skin? My family also started on G3 about 2 months ago and are enjoying it very much.

Just like to share with parents how good diet, eye exercises, eye massage(by hands) and good eye habits/lifestyle can really improve our eyes, slowly but surely.


We just did a check on her eyes.Her shortsightedness remains the same but there is another improvement on astigma , from -0.5 to -0.25.

She was diagnosed -1.25 on myopia and -1.0 on astigma on both eyes,on 23 Nov 2011.
She was diagnosed -1.25 on myopia and -0.5 on astigma on both eyes, on 5 Dec and 28 Dec 2011.
She was diagnosed -1.25 on myopia and -0.25 on astigma on both eyes on 30th Jan 2012.

* Her right eye is between -1.0 and -1.25 so I just put -1.25.

I hope over time we can see better results…

I came across the above. They have a package for atropine treatment - $600 for 1 year including 6 visits. Considering......

I suspected it was this place you tried when you mentioned the prices. The doctors appear on TV and newspapers very often. One of them even appeared in the Sunday Times talking about his new bungalow in town...

My dd was with another eye clinic for 3 years with a very senior eye doctor but due to an incident, we had to see a eye doc imm & was referred by our Paed to Eagle Eye. We have not looked back since. The prices are similar to other specialist eye clinics but the doctors are gentle & the staff there are nice. They don't put your kid on unnecessary treatment. In fact, when they knew that my dd was on atropine for 2+ years already as prescribed by the previous eye doc, they advised us to stop the atropine treatment & monitor.

How was the result of your dd's 2+ year altropine treatment? Did the degree go up after the treatment was stopped? Did she continue the treatment again after that? Thanks.

8228, my dd’s degree went up by only 50 in the time she was on Hemasol Eye Drops, a milder version of the treatment. She did not have long-sightedness as encountered by her friends who are on Atropine. But while her friends on Atropine sees a drop in degree, dd’s eye degree did not drop. But she did not have problems seeing near. The eye doc did say that this is a milder version as compared to Atropine. We went with his recommendation as he is a very senior doc who is very experienced with kids.


Her degree has somewhat stablised, even tho it has gone up a little as shown by a check 6 months after she has stopped the treatment. Eagle Eye staff told us no need to go back on the eye drop.

Hi cutiemax

My girl is 6yo.

Here is what we did...

1) Eye related activities ( reading/studying etc)only during the day. Maximise the use of natural light instead of lightings

2) Eat eye rich food such as blueberries, carrots, celerys, kiwi, brocooli, squash, sweet potatoes and etc ( I made smoothies/juice to increase intake)

3) massage eyes(clockwise, 10x and hold for few seconds) in 4 main areas. I do it 3x daily for her. Before school, after school and before sleep.
- fingers on each side of the eyebrows ( top section)
- fingers on each side of the nose ( middle section)
- fingers on cheekbones( bottom of eyes)
- fingers on each side of the eye( just above ears)

4) Eye exercise ( 1x daily)
- Look far and near
- up and down
- left and right
- eight
-clock

5) Regular blinking of eyes and looking away when using eyes for close up

Hope it helps....
