It'a been a year since the big girl started on her Ortho-K journey and we are happy to update that she is still loving being specs-free and enjoying perfect eyesight! Woohoo!
In fact, this active girl who loves to dance, loves the beach and loves outdoor activities says that she never ever wants to wear specs again. Haha. Well, maybe except when she has sore eyes and has to skip wearing her lens for a night.
For those who don't know, Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is the use of specially designed and fitted contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea in order to improve vision. It is a surgery-free method to mainly correct myopia, or short-sightedness. Ortho-K lenses are worn at night to reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep and they are described as "braces for the eyes".
She has totally gotten accustomed to her daily routine and doesn't take more than 10 minutes to remove her lens in the morning or put them on before bedtime. We are truly glad to have embarked on this journey with Eyesight.sg and thankful for the wonderful service they provide during every review. To read more about our experience, search for 'ortho k a happy mum'.
It was also awesome hearing how our friend recently did it for her 9yo daughter too and was incredibly amazed to see how her eyesight became 6/6 within a month. Yup, it always makes me happy to know that our recommendation worked well for others too.
As a mum, I am happy seeing her big smiles and knowing that she loves her life. To my girl, it's okay that we have small eyes hor, we just want them to be healthy and our vision to be clear. Continue enjoy being specs-free and remember to practise good reading habits, yeah? Love ya! ❤
P.S. She is wearing her pretty Rapunzel mask from @twofunnybears. Join our ongoing giveaway (see previous post) if you are keen to win!
P.P.S. Looking grown up here, doesn't she? Almost 11 already! Btw this is a skorts (skirt with shorts), cos' Mama says no mini skirts are allowed for now. Lol.

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!

night myopia 在 Cheekiemonkies Facebook 的精選貼文
It has been 2 years since Ayd started on Ortho-K with Titus Eye Care and I'm happy to say that his myopia has been successfully curbed ever since.
For those unfamiliar with Ortho-K, it's a non-surgical, reversible process that uses therapeutic lenses to shape the cornea while the wearer sleeps. So what Ayd had been doing is to wear specially-designed cornea moulds to sleep every night. The lenses reshape the corneas and by the time he removes them in the morning, he can see clearly without glasses. And he likes the freedom that comes with being spectacle-free!
I've written 2 posts on Ayd's Ortho-K journey on the blog so do read them if you are interested to find out more. For me, the greatest advantage is preventing his myopia from escalating during his childhood.

Special thanks to Titus too, for helping to monitor Ash's and Ale's eyesight! 😊
