[quote=\"gerberadaisy\"]Hi parents,


Just to share. I also brought my kid to SNEC to consult the pediatric ophthalmologist there. Very friendly doctor, nurses and optometrist. Everything done professionally and efficiently. A very good experience. Charges are reasonable - around $130 for both consultation and refraction.

Could you kindly share about the waiting time there? We got the appoinment (private) on Friday in SNEC. Did you also consult Dr Audrey Chia? Thanks

Hi, perhaps on our day of visit, there weren't that many patients, so everything was very prompt. Practically, no waiting time. All in all, we spent about 2 hours there because there were a few tests that needed to be administered, including refraction where eye drops need to be instilled 3 times and there needs to be an interval between each drop. I did comment to the nurse about the short waiting time, but she said that it all depends, and on certain days, the waiting time can be very long.
We consulted another younger doctor, Dr Zena Lim, because she's the only doctor available on a Fri afternoon. Found her to be very nice and professional. Hope you can share with us your experience at SNEC after your visit.[/quote]Hi

We also consulted Dr Zena Lim. She is quite nice. Even the nurses are very kind and behaved/answered to the questions more professionally. Charges are reasonable. I also paid around $130. The whole procedure took 2 hours plus. I will say that the waiting time is because of the procedure rather than waiting for the doctor/nurses. We are quite happy with the service and the cost.

I've called but they said all children below 7YO will be treated as private patients, regardless whether there is a referral letter from Polyclinic or not? Is this true? Would like to check with any parents with experience. Thanks!

I took my son to SNEC pediatric eye specialist. Really the best! I paid private rate but it wasn't that expensive. They did all kinds of tests - it took about 3 hours in all. I think I paid Less than $200....

Don't bother going elsewhere and then have to go to kids specialist at SNEC later again - double the a and twice the hassle. just go straight there...
Serious

Yes, I totally agree with you.

Hi Happyth


Your experience is similar to mine.

hi 8228


Your fees are exorbitant. My gal saw a senior consultant as a private patient and did many tests too... only in the $100++ range for first visit. Be careful not to go for doctors who appear on TV / newspapers too often...

Hi can pm me your eye specialist contact?
Tks.

hi


does any of ur dd or ds have shortsightedness at age 4?
any success stories of treating using eye machine, bates specs, tcm massage eg raffles hosp, or other methods?

is it true that if high power is diagnosed for young aged kids with normal method, we shd let them go hosp to put eye drops to find out real shortsightedness degree?

my youngest dd only k1, 4plus but diagnosed with at least 200+ myopia but was advised to go put eye drops first. she seldom on tv and not a book worm. both me n dh are bespectacled. is that the reason?

SOS!

Hi 24hr-mum,

Has your dd been referred to KKH for more thorough checkup? If so, might be good to go there for a professional review.

My 2 dds were diagnosed with astigmatism. DD2 is quite high. 300+. However, my ds is normal. So we suspect it's genetic as dh has astigmatism.

my ds -4/-4.5 age 5 and dd age 8 has astig 250 ... so many conflicting theories ... both me & wife are high myopes ... ds and dd loves to read (not much tv or video games).

both kids now using myovision lense from carl zeiss (since Jan) ... there's also another myopia control lense myopilux from essilor. not really sure the effectiveness ... eye check in a few weeks. we're taking them out to park every evening and nightly eye exercise. glasses only used 1/2 day.

if any power increase we'll start them on weekend atropine first ... and am just starting to read this book - 'The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness By David De Angelis'
