關於 what is myopia ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

No phones. No iPads. No computer or video games. Minimal TV time. Occasional movies. Just lots and lots and lots of books.

Still, this day has arrived when my firstborn realises she can no longer see so clearly in her right eye and a trip to the optometrist confirmed one of my biggest fears. Well, at least she is still feeling positive about the entire experience and is excited to put on her brand new purple specs to read. I guess nothing will ever get in the way between this strong-willed girl and her books.

I can choose to keep on chiding "I told you so" or lamenting about why she never inherited my perfect eyesight genes, or I can accept the fact that this is a part of her now and while it is all new to us, I can do my part as a mum to support and encourage her. Oh, and keep on nagging about the importance of bright lighting and a good sitting posture.

Whatever it is, reading is a good habit that runs strong in our home and I hope we will still keep it up while doing our best to take care of our eyes. For someone who is born with astigmatism - which we discovered when she was in kindergarten - and never achieved 6/6 in her eye screening tests before, I just hope her myopia will not progress (too much). Sounds like a dream? Oh well, let's just take a step at a time and see where this journey leads us. Most importantly, as we move into a new chapter, may this book lover of mine continue to find joy between the lines and write her beautiful life story page by page.

P.S. We love you no matter what happens, my dear. Continue to dream big and never let life get you down or think that you are not enough. 我们永远支持你! ❤

Do you know that Singapore has one of the highest myopia rates in the world?

I do allow screen time at home and that means, I constantly have to make sure that the kids are using the devices at a safe distance. Telling them that excessive device use may lead to deteriorated eye-sight falls on deaf ears as they simply didn’t know what that means.

But now, they do. While we had our comprehensive eye check at @videre.sg, Lauren and Georgia got to experience what it's like to have myopia and astigmatism via games at the store’s @ACUVUESG Experience Zone. We also learned how to take better care of our eyes.

It has been 2 years since Ayd started on Ortho-K with Titus Eye Care and I'm happy to say that his myopia has been successfully curbed ever since.

For those unfamiliar with Ortho-K, it's a non-surgical, reversible process that uses therapeutic lenses to shape the cornea while the wearer sleeps. So what Ayd had been doing is to wear specially-designed cornea moulds to sleep every night. The lenses reshape the corneas and by the time he removes them in the morning, he can see clearly without glasses. And he likes the freedom that comes with being spectacle-free!

I've written 2 posts on Ayd's Ortho-K journey on the blog so do read them if you are interested to find out more. For me, the greatest advantage is preventing his myopia from escalating during his childhood.

Special thanks to Titus too, for helping to monitor Ash's and Ale's eyesight! 😊
