only last a year the most... :sick:

That is unusual.

I noticed that many children do not wear their spectacles correctly on their nose bridge.

Or sometimes, the spectacles are too loose and slip down the nose bridge and the child does not push it up. As a result, the alignment of vision is not correct. The child ends up squirting which makes the eyesight deteriorates.

Sometimes, the spectacles frame are slightly bended or the nose pads are misaligned due to knocks or accidents. If we do not adjust it to the correct angle, the line of vision is again distorted.

Check your child's spectacles and where it is positioned again a few hours.

As a guide, do a 1/2 yearly checkup at the optician.

If you are very familiar with the optician, you can go back every 3 mths to do a check up of the frame to make sure the alignment is not out. Afterall, we paid a bomb for the frame.

If the frame is still in good condition and the child has not outgrown the size of the frame but the lens need to be changed, you can opt to reuse the frame.

I love my pair of transition lenses...very comfortable on a hot day with sun glaring into the eyes.

Yours not progressive meh? :siam:

My DD has been using Zeiss-type lens all this while.. that's why her specs costs a bomb and only last a year the most... :sick:

Whoa, for next year's PH donation drive, I know who to ask my son to give the card to liao. :evil:

Mee Mee quoted me 25 bucks for eye-check without any purchase.

But fee waived if there's purchase.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for ur suggestions... :salute:

I agree with you that most likely my DD did not adjust back her spec when it slips down. At times, I was the one that reminded her to do so. Will constantly remind and ensure she wears it properly. :pokeeye:

Her review is once every 4months so we'll see her optometrist thrice a year. Seriously we can't save much on her lens cos her astigmatism is slightly above 200 so had no choice but to go for better ones, since can't really save much too... :slapshead:

Hey Bro Mark,


Pls don't do so... cos already broke after this spec replacement... plus if ur DS has donation card means my DD also has too! :nailbite: :sick: :scared:

My hubby made his sunglasses at Sincere some years ago. I guess the uncles recognise me so they did not charge me when I brought my children to do a checkup.

Of course, when we really need to replace the lens or frames, we patronise them.

Loyal customers do not pay for eye checkup

Hello Mr Foo,
One min you asked me if I'm using progressive lenses...next you said I am 16. Whenever my kids ask me how old I am. I tell them 25...like Alan Tam :evil:

Hi cheerie, sorry if i seem to be intruding... quick sharing... my DD had d same problem but can be really resolved by buying a pair of silicon/rubber attachments ($2 or $3/pair) from optical shops. These are then slid easily into the \"legs\" of the frame and adjusted to sit comfortably behind the ears. Will definitely prevent the glasses from sliding down the nose. Glasses will also stay firmly with running and jumping. Hope this helps

Hi RRMUmmy,

Thanks for sharing! :please:

The new pair of specs she is wearing comes with it fortunately. SO I hope this will really helps her in long run. So far so good... :xedfingers:
