<![CDATA[Help needed - Feedback on Myo Vision lenses]]>hi,


Need your advice. I have just brought my next year P2 girl for an eye check-up at the optical shop. Used to have her eye checked at Health Promotion Board but they tell me that from P2 onwards they do not perform the eye check-up anymore. We will need to have it done at the optical shops.

We were given 2 different prescriptions at 2 different optical shops which is very confusing. Some also recommended us Myo vision lenses which supposedly can slow down the increase in short-sightedness.

Can I seek your feedback on the Myo vision lenses if your kids are wearing them?

Many thanks.

Rgds,
Ming

Thanks. The only thing I can do with him is to constantly drill \"rest eyes, rest eyes\".

Anyway, going the alternative route with wolf-berry and Brands berry tablets. Hope it will make a small difference.

Is yours Brands Bilberry chewable tablets? I have thought of buying it for my girl too. But letting her try PN Kids Bright Eyes gummy 1st.

Trying all means.... :?:

Yes, I was referring to the brand's bilberries chewable tablet. I did ask the Brand's lady before. She was quite forthright, it doesn't improve their eyesight, but the hope is that eyesight will not deteriorate so fast.

For Brand's stuff, it's best if you join their Brand's world. During birthdays, there are usually special discounts and if you stock up enough, there are usually a lot of freebies. I usually buy my stash during DS birthday - enough to last about a year.

Trying means within my reach. Also asking maid to bring the kids to the playground now. better to let them run and play than to veg out in front of the tv.

Actually I think the best will be wolfberries (gou qi zi) - I grab some and dump into a cup, pour hot water over it and then let DS drink when it's cooler. He's resistant, else make him eat the wolfberries even better (a bit like raisins but not sweet).

I believe the time the eyesight is tested also matters in the reading obtained. I usu. bring my boy to test the eyesight in the morning when he has not started reading/watched TV.
Thanks. Will bear your advice in mind going forward, eye-test shall be conducted in the morning before her all other activities.

Brought DS1 to the optometrist. His eyesight deteriorated again. Haizzzzz. I asked the opto and he told me that those specs that supposed to help slow down did not quite work on his customers, so he's since stopped recommending them. The only thing supposed to be more outdoor activities.


DS1 loves to read, watch tv. I am resigned to his fate. 😞

Don't give up yet .... :rahrah: :rahrah: jia YU :rahrah: :rahrah:

Just want to share my experience here....


I have brought my girl to 2 different optical shops - 1 shop mentioned +100/+75, the other shop mentioned +50/+75, both shops recommended a change of her current spectacles.

Wanting a 2nd and more objective opinion (since there is an inherent conflict of interest for optical shops not to recommend a new pair of specs), I brought my girl to TTSH for a thorough eye check-up, the optometrist there gave the assessment that there is no need for a new pair of specs, as her degree only increased by +25/+25.

So, my thoughts going forward will be to go for an optometrist in which you maybe have built up a relationship over the years rather than just walk into any optical shop as most likely the recommendation from such optical shop will be to change to a new pair of specs. I cannot imagine if I such take the recommendation of the earlier optical shops I went to and just changed the specs of my girl. It might caused her eye degree to escalate drastically......

I think it is not right to say the specs failed, but success rate largely depends on the user. Many children are not wearing their specs the proper way, hence the eyesight only deteriorate.

U might want to consider getting your girl to look far at greenery after an hour of near sight work (like reading, doing sch work). Btw I notice some children bend very close to the desk while writing. Does your girl do that?

Yes, my girl also does that, bends very close to the desk while writing. I ask my girl why is she kissing the book? :evil:

U might want to consider getting those back support strap for your child to use at home. I think it is available at some NTUC Unity Pharmacy.

Though u cant control the sch environment, at least at home she maintains proper posture.

Another issue is that for my girl's primary school, they are still in double session. So the P1/P3 and P2/P4 will share classrooms. As such, the height of the tables and chairs are not that tall. My girl is considered quite tall for her age, so she usually gets assigned to the seat at the back. And I also think that the table and chair a bit unsuitable for her....

But what to do??? 🤷

hi Jennifer,


Many thanks for your kind advice.

Yes seriously considering Myo vision lenses now. My girl is going on to P3 next year but her degree is 300+ on each side already. Cannot imagine if her degree keeps on increasing. By the way is it normal for the degree increase to be around 50 to 75 degrees every year?

I have been nagging incessantly everyday on good eye-care habits. Apart from reading and doing schoolwork, and some TV, my girl does not play any computer games/I-games at all. Maybe we detected her short-sightedness too late..... :slapshead:
I am unsure what's considered reasonable increase, just blindly accept what the optician said.

Last week, he went for a check, right 275 n left 225.


The optician said the increase is considered reasonable.

His next pair of specs will be using Myovision lens again.

See this link http://www.better-vision.zeiss.com.sg/a/u/your-individualised-zeiss-lens/myovisionTM-the-innovative-spectacle-lenses-for-myopia-control/

in which Myovision lens are slated to \"corrects for sharp central vision while also moving the peripheral image in front of the retina. Its first research shows an indication that it has an effect of sending a signal to the eye to reduce progression of eye elongation. \"

I supposed by forcing the child to shift his head in order to position his eyes directly (in a straight line) to the object he wants to look at sharply reduces the lazy eyes occurrence.

But, the specs frame has to be pitched on the nose at the proper position (as when tested to hv the specs made). My P4 boy sometimes complained of not sharp images when the frame slips down, but once he pushes up the frame on his nose bridge, the image becomes sharp.

We need to pay attention to how he wears it as well as pay more for a sturdy frame whose shape does not become distorted too easily. His current frame is a one piece plastic frame (brand Zio).

Myovision lens are not cheap, our next pair costs $260 using back the old Zio frame.

If your child is already wearing specs, I wld suggest that you also make a normal lens specs as a backup.
