MYOPIA @ Thursday, January 27, 2011

Myopia (meaning short sighted). Last Friday, Richelle came home from school, told us that nurse say need to go for eyes check up. In my heart, my greatest fear has arrival! Hubb family member have bad history with high myopia (above 600 degree). Hubby is 800-1000 degree!!! And Myopia can be inherited.

Actually, we are quite concern about this. Hubby would just raise his voice if Richelle sit too near to TV, Reading book without light or playing games for too long. And on my part, I try to give her more vitamins for the eyes!

Whatever we have done, gone wasted! Richelle is still detected with myopia. My heart sink!

So I pop a question back to Richelle: Which row u can’t see?
Richelle: I think the last 3rd row
Mummy: WHAT!!!????

Sat, I quickly bring Richelle to Optical shop to double confirm again! When the optician asks Richelle to read those letters on screen projector, I nearly wanted to cry! To me those words were so clear and big and I never expect Richelle myopia can be so serious! She can’t pronounce any 1 of them.

Result: 175 degree on each eye! My hearts totally die off! How can it be? Every year she did an eye check. Nothing usually last year, how comes suddenly can shoot up to 175? She never complaint anything about she can’t see.
Furthermore, visual is not stabilizing at this age, will only stable around secondary time. OMG! Primary 2 already 175, what to expect when Richelle is Primary 6? Going to be the same as the daddy?

What can I do to control the myopia? Until now I still cannot accept the fact!

I seriously thinking of buying 1 of this. But it is damn Expensive, I hear it is around $600-$700. Hehehe suddenly I remember this quote from those people Q-ing for Nanyang Pre School. " YOU CAN CALL ME KAISU, I DUN CARE! IS MY CHILD FUTURE (EYES)!Kekeke!!!!




How effective is Eye Relax??? (Information from Website)
Based on the latest research on visual neurological science, EyeRelax is very easy to use and effective. Just 5 minutes per eye treatment is all you need. Yes, just 5 minutes. All you need to do is to focus into the device, where EyeRelax patented biospectrum, clinically programmed to relieve visual fatigue, helps improve our eyesight for both myopia and presbyopia. When our eyes function better, its just natural that it will see better.
For low myopes of less than 300 degrees, there is a good chance to regain good vision if used early. Children with low myopia are strongly encouraged to use EyeRelax early, as they would have a high possibility to regain good vision.
For medium myopes of between 300 and 600 degrees, EyeRelax helps to improve eyesight and prevents it from worsening. No more thicker and thicker glasses every few months.
For those with myopia of 600 degrees and above, one should use EyeRelax immediately to improve eyesight, and also avoid eye-blinding diseases. And generally, this group of myopes finds EyeRelax very comfortable to their eyes.
