        HI all, my boy is slight myopic. I bought him a pair of pinhole glasses in April 2012 and he wears it in school every time the white board is used. He also wears it to play computer games. So far, so good. No more complain about headaches and dizziness.


        Plus good eye habits and exposure to the sunlight and green trees, the eye will re-adjust itself to perfection as the eye itself is a muscle.

        This article may be of interest. It's on Perfect Eyesight Without Glasses by Dr. Bates. The downloads on eye care and eye health are all free.

          My daughter used to wear myovision lens in P3 but she still experienced slight increase of 75degrees in 1 year.

          Since I’m highly myopic, I was really worried that her vision may deteriorate due to hereditary predisposition. Hence optician recommended that she tried the myopilux lens instead as it has higher success rate in controlling myopia.
          I am very glad that we tried and there has been no increase in power since she started the myopilux lens 2 years ago. It really works for her and I highly recommend that u try it out.

              Does your daughter wear the glasses at all times or when she can't see clearly?

                The lens should have cost between $300-400 but it is worth it considering that she didn’t change her glasses for the last 2 years and best of all no increase in power!


                My girl wears her glasses all the time becos her power is 325 degree each eye and she won’t be able to see clearly if she doesn’t wear it.

                  Parents who are concern about your child’s eyesight can consider giving them omega 3 which is rich in EPA and DHA, studies have shown that omega 3 is beneficial for the eyes. Also omega 3 is great for the brain development too. Other than that, we can consider taking G3 juice. This nutrient rich juice is wonderful and children will love it!

                      hi … just to update. we tried myovision for my son … and minimal increase last one year +25 each eye. My daughter however increased by +150 each eye in one year. There’s no real explanation … we try 1 hour in park every evening, nightly eye exercise, controlled TV and no close reading.


                      Will try atropine end of this year if big power increase. Anyone heard of new atropine 0.1% or 0.01%?? This smaller dosage will not have glare it seems.

                      There’s also Australian research on myopic defocus helps reverse axial length of eyeball … I think its very promising … maybe a cure in future. We should start doing it now …

                        There was news regarding SNEC's research on this smaller dosage a few months ago and the results were quite promising. Not sure whether SNEC has started treatment with this smaller dosage. Anyone knows?
