Practical Help between us parents
I do not believe that atropine, OrthoK, and other myopia control options work well on their own.If it did, we wouldn’t have so many kids with escalating short-sightedness. Parents and kids need lots of resources and ideas to fight myopia. I try out all that I am sharing with Mark first.
I only get to see you once every 3 months on your myopia control program and I can’t afford you to slip. I have started the BetterEyesClub to encourage myopia fighting eye habits. I update and offer audiobooks, podcasts and outdoor activity ideas through The Eyeclinic by Dr Cheryl Lee Facebook and IG as part of the BetterEyesClub . So do check them out.

Debunk some eye myths , tips on getting your kid off devices and more. Atropine drops better than contacts for myopic children?
Singapore’s circuit breaker in 2020, we saw myopia increasing by 100 degrees within 3 months !
Home based learning, less outdoor time were great issues. So it is urgent and timely that I need to emphasise the importance of maintaining good eye habits during the pandemic lockdown.
Go outdoors where it is safe At least two hours per day ,especially given the flexibility of home-based learning to take the outdoor break when there is sunshine
Time limit with digital devices. As home based learning is already on devices, do make an effort to avoid recreational screen time. Mark and I played ball games and darts at home and he even learned to play Mahjong.
Regular eye examinations and myopia treatment should continue. Myopia is irreversible and thus the services at The EyeClinic is considered essential. Keep to your planned eye consult and we see all kids from four years old. This pandemic is causing a myopia boom. It is particularly important that children on myopia treatment, such as atropine and orthoK, not to have a lapse in their treatment because there is a risk of rebound myopia when treatment ends prematurely.
