my girl has very bad eyes sight condition, now already R650 and L600

who can help me...and she is only 7

Hi sunflower2005, I think your girl also started wearing classes mid year in K1 right? My kids too, just started a month back. My younger one quite high at about 300 deg, but we have started them on the atropine eye drop treatment, once a week. Most eye specialists actually recommend daily use, but the one we are seeing is more conservative, only 1 drop every Friday which we find more acceptable compared to daily use( since no one knows for sure any long term side effects). Genetics aside, I think ultimately need to cut down on their time spent doing near activities like reading, doing work. Not easy for sure but at least need to try.... :rotflmao:

I read a report somewhere that as long as kids are exposed to sunlight for at least 1 hr per day. Their eyesight will be ok. Think there is some things in the sunlight that helps eyesight.

When a kid is exposed to sunlight ie outside, he is looking far distance. I guess what the report may suggest was to be out in the sun to make sure the eyes are looking far instead of near distance, which is the main reason for our kids' myopia. Our kids are home most of the time, doing work, reading, watching tv, playing smartphone or iPad or handheld electronic or computer games etc, thus confining their eyes to looking at near distance. Doctors recommend that the kids should go out of the house and/or play in park, exercise etc for minimum 1.5 hours a day. Our Singaporeans parents have sub-contracted part of childcare to iPhone, iPad, handheld games and kids here are being made to read at a very young age eg 3-4 years thus high incidence of myopia even among the pre schoolers. How many times have we gone to gatherings and restaurants and see kids focusing on their iPhone, iPad, electronic games etc instead of engaging in meaningful conversations with each other or with the adults?.....the myopia situation will just get worse.
