This little dancer is feeling elated today because she doesn't need to wear her specs, woohoo!
It's been over four months since she put on her first pair of glasses and we were told by her optometrist that her degree is increasing too fast, which isn't really a surprise judging by how she reads non-stop. She doesn't get much screen time and is device-free for now, so books are really the main cause of her myopia.
Anyway, we were advised to try to control her progression as early as possible and considering how she doesn't like to put on specs in the first place because of her passion for dance, we have embarked on her Ortho-K journey with @eyesightdotsg.
I had a handful of queries from some of you last night and will be answering them via DM and sharing more info in my highlights too. Basicially, OrthoKeratology, or Ortho-K, is a treatment to stop myopia progression and allows you to have practically perfect eyesight in the day without glasses. You will need to wear a special lenses to sleep at night - which reshapes your cornea - and be committed and diligent in keeping up with the routine.
It's the first day that the big girl is going to be specs free after all these months and we are very excited to see where this journey will bring us. Follow my stories for more updates as we go along, yeah?
Have a great weekend, people, and be safe from the haze!
