My dd has been on Ortho K since Aug’10 & I’m very pleased with the results so far. To be honest, every single eyecare "solution" has got it’s side effects. I decided again Atr-drops coz I do not want my dd to develop cataracts in adulthood thru UV overexposure!


Ortho K is non-invasive & the highest risk stems fm eye infection caused by improper lens cleaning. I circumvented this potential risk by cleaning her lens myself. How can a 10 yo possibly do a good job cleaning these hard lens every morning? Now my dd is even more beautiful w/o her glasses & it’s been a great confidence booster whenever she receives a compliment. Her myopia was 650 deg on each eye previously. If her myopia had crept up any further, she would not have been suitable for this Ortho-K lens program.

At night, I put on her lens after she brushes her teeth, just before she goes to bed. In the morning, I remove it before she washes up & follow a strict regime in cleansing & storing the lens. All it takes is 5 mins. & she has perfect vision for the entire day.

And btw, my dd is a Type 1 Diabetic patient & I’ve consulted her KKH Endocrinologist with a whole host of Ortho-K lens info to ensure that it will not affect her diabetic condition. He reviewed & gave his thumbs-up to proceed with the Ortho-K lens & assured me that it won’t affect her retina.

Now she no longer squints nor have to clean her foggy glasses whenever she gets out of the car. It’s not just myopia control, it’s a whole life-style change. I think it’s absolutely worth it all…

The cheapest way to see a doctor in KKH is to get a referral fm Polyclinic doctor. I believe the SGD70 that you mentioned is for direct walk-in to KKH.
