We finally brought XY for a refraction test on
12th May (yes, this is a very backdated post :p). I know she is shortsighted
(she can't see the whiteboard in class clearly) but didn't realise it has
become quite serious. She now needs glasses as her power is 175 for the right
eye and 200 for the left. She has slight astigmatism in both eyes too.
The next day, we brought her to an optical shop to make a pair of
spectacles. There aren't many choices of plastic frames and half-frames for
children so we chose a metal frame for her. As for the lenses, we used the
Myopia Control lenses, as suggested by the optometrist we saw in ISEC.

Since 20th May, she has officially joined the
four-eyed gang in the family. After collecting the glasses, I asked her to
start wearing them, to get used to it. For the lenses to be effective in
reducing her shortsightedness, she's advised to wear them frequently. She seems
to be very excited about wearing glasses. Keep comparing her vision with and
without glasses. One moment she'll say "I can't see this/that" and
then the next moment, "Now I can see already" as she lifts them up
and then put them back on. *mommy shakes head*
She’s been wearing glasses for a month already.
And she seems to have gotten used to it. There are still incidents where she
got squashed in the face when playing (rough) with didi and the nose piece got
bent. Just got to keep reminding them not to play like that with her spectacles
on.

Very cute. Now many young kids wearing glasses. Once I say a 2 years old boy wearing glasses.
I always reminded my girl not to read while lying down and watch tv/computer at near distances. Hope she will take good care of her eyes.
Aww...she looks so sweet in her new glasses. I think it's just a matter of time Gwen will become sei ngan mui like Mummy.
I agree she looks so sweet in those glasses! Still a pretty little thing!
ahh, this brings back my own memories of wearing glasses for the first time :) around the same age too. i was quite pleased to have somthing that was 100% MINE, no one else could use it!
cham lor...this mini sing-ngan-mui is going to look more & more like the *old* sing-ngan-mui, lol :D
hubby always said there is one good thing about wearing specs. At least her eyes is well protected from being poked by sharp things especially playing in school.Nah...bet your girl will play that rough, but the boys can be really naughty in school, hehe...
Your girl is so sweet....with her smile.
