“The boy in the photo is Mark when he was 7 years old. He is now 11.He is not myopic.

I became passionate about myopia control because of my love for him. The incidence of myopia in a Singaporean primary school class is 70 %, largely due to poor eye habits. I encourage all parents to bring your little ones in from 4 years old as I did for Mark. I will share my practical tips that I have tried out on Mark with you. Stop the myopia as soon as it happens as it only gets worse , never better and rarely stable till they are 16. ”
