My son also have his first appointment with Dr Tse tomorrow.

Dr Tse is indeed a very good doctor.

She said the normal VA for children is around 1. My son is 0.8, is already very good reading. Some children have 1.2, which is super-normal.

There is no way to improve far-sightedness, according to her, not even the eye exercise.

Anyway, I would continue to do the eye- rolling exercise and hopefully his far-sightedness will drop.

dear all

My son meet Dr Tse this morning. and happy to know that my son's eye got improvement and no need to have the operation upto now.   Dr Tse said my son is only 2.5 years and still have time to observe his situation.    His 內斜視 improved from 30 degree to 10 degree.

DEAR yvonnetsang
        真替你和小朋友感到開心﹗
         斜視手術雖然都算是小手術，但手術後(如果是十八歲正如當時的我)，一個月後，眼睛依然有點澀澀的和紅紅的。不過我想小孩子會康復較快。最好安排在上學前兩個月，即暑假開始即做較理想。

Dear all mom,

I was also diagnoised to have far-sighted when i am 2.5 years old and wear the glasses till then.  It was discovered after i was hurt for several time, e.g hurt the eye-brown by the corner of the carbinet, and forehead and eyelid.  My parents then let me go to check my eyes and find that i have 800 far-sighted.  Now I am a mother now, and still i was wearing contact lens for nearly 20 years.  
And my 800 far-sighted still accompany with me right now, my husband said i better to wear glasses because it's more healthy to me.  But due to self-image, i'd rather like to wear the contact lens till before sleep.
When i am a child, i was very happy when i went with my father to go to check the eye every year, coz my father will let me to go to Mcdonald with him.  And thie following is the advise for the parents.  My parents was very nervous about my far-sighted eye, and at that time, i wanted to please my parent. For years of checking up, I intend to stress my eye to focus on want i can read, and the 800 become 500. My parents are very happy.  But everyday, i was wearing wrong degree glasses.  After several year, i realised by myself that it's not good.  And whenever checking the eye, i should be relax and should not forcus on the result. Hahaha, and the 800 came back.
When I am in primary school, I did notice that I was strange, but I still have a lot of good friend and we have contact till now.  So, it's not a big problem for me. But when started the secondary school and a different school, my strange look frightened everyone, I do like a MONSTER.  I was really depressed for some time. And from form 2 onwards, i wear the contact lens.  I remembered my classmistress saiid where my glasses was on the first day when i weared the contact len. And my good friend said I lost my eyes.....................
Now, I am still worry about my son and daughter having the same problem of mine, but i will tell myself and others: Parents, don't be so nervous as your children will be adjust for themselves............
Let us pray to everyone who have the same problem.

dear kitty0303,
      
     可否告知為何你的遠視自幼自今都是800度無變？不是說遠視是會 慢慢 改善的嗎？遠視眼鏡很古怪的嗎？還是你以前那個時候的眼鏡沒現在的好？(阿仔今天才去取眼鏡---如果我等陣病情沒惡化的話)

      你是故意戴不同度數的眼鏡的嗎？會有反效果？你戴的眼鏡和800度相差幾多？

     thanks

hi kitty,
thank you for your sharing. It is really difficult for parent to handle the far-sightedness.

I also have the same question as Faith. But even my son is far-sight  750 degree, his glass is quite thin now, thanks to the technology. It looks not very bad. Why don't you go laser?

My son is having eye examin in assessment centre. This time the replaced specialist is good. She said:

1. our children should not read or watch TV / computer for long time because it is harder for our children to see closer things. If our children keep on seeing closer things for long time, the 'dispersed sight' will increase. They should go out and see the sky and environment so as to relax the eye.
2. Chance for getting short sight is not great.

      想問，你是說專家話看太久不休息容易有散光嗎？但如果已戴遠視眼鏡，是否也一樣不可以看太久？
      我仔仔有時專心做一樣野，例如寫字(他喜歡自己寫字或數字)，可以很長時間坐著的，我真的很擔心遠視影響他的學習.....點算？ :cry:  :-|  

ALAL

'但如果已戴遠視眼鏡，是否也一樣不可以看太久' - even if one wear far-sight class, it is harder for them than normal people to see closer things. Therefore must not read or watch TV for long time.
I think far-sightedness will affect studying. But we have to learn to live with it. Let them play more sports and go out more.

Dear Faith and ALAL

About 30 years ago, I think the technology is not good enough to train the far-sighted children.  And people said when u have short-sighted when u are growing up, the far-sighted degree will decrease, eg. if i have short-sighted -300 in the childhood, then i will have +800-300, that is +500.  May be i didn't not read the book or always look at television, i didn't develop any short-sighted.  This is just my theory.     
The recent far-sighted glasses is the best,  if u ever see a telescope, then u can imagine my glasses is like that, it's so thick and made of plastic to avoid easy broken.  And the eye seems almost double after wearing the glasses.
I was not intend to wear different degree eye-glasses but i just wanted to please my parent at that time because they were very happy when they knew that my far-sighted was improved.  It was almost last for 2 years and i knew i was wrong at the end.  So, may be it worsen my far-sighted and i still have +800 till now.
About the laser, the doctor said that it should be done after the age of 40 and the far-sighted may develop again later.  So, I think it's not a best time to do this operation now and have to wait for the new technology.
For the studying and reading, I also found difficulty in reading books, the letter is blurred if they are in a very small size.  My parents let me to have another glasses whenever reading books when i am a child.  And u can think of people 老花，they will have 漸進 glasses, I have one also now.  I will not be so hard to read the book and not necessary to change the glasses when i have to see the things far away.
This is my experience, hope it can help u.

Dear Kitty,
Thank you for your sharing. It is very helpful.

Because error of the specialist in govt, my son also wear a glass several hundred lower than the actual degree. I have asked several eye doctor and specialist. All of them comment that mostly the actual degree should have exist inborn. It is not due to wearing of wrong degree glass that the degree become higher.

According to specialist, it is normal that some people will have their far-sightness decrease but some will not.

Your mum give you two glasses- one for reading? What is the degree of this glass?

kitty0303

Dear ALAL,

So, one glasses is +800 and I remember the reading glasses is about +1000.  But I felt dizziness when i wearing the +1000 glasses, and I think the technology is not so good at that time, and the letter will have rainbow together which may not happen nowadays.  And there's graduating glasses, u could ask the shop about that.

thank your kitty for your contribution here.

By the way, did far-sightedness influence your studying? I mean reading books or writing and hence academic result?

Will it influence you in playing sports/ ballgames? is it more difficult to throw and receive ball using hand or rackets?

我都想知alal的問題。

不過以我自己來說，(雖不確定當時是否遠視，應該是吧，我戴的眼鏡會放大眼睛的)我接波時是靠感覺直覺的...好像並不倚賴眼睛，可能是當時也有斜視的關係吧﹗

以前讀書真的很快頭暈和tired，眼見姊姊看完一本又一本小說，自己，看一本都要花很長時間，因為看一會就會累，很辛苦，只能在過了一些時間後再看，看一本小說姊可能要花三小時，我就要花上十小時了，這樣子唔會影響閱讀就奇，有時見到本書就聯想起頭暈頭痛，見都文字都有點恐懼。

不過，我在六歲打後就無戴眼鏡，因為自己死唔肯戴，父母無我乎也就不管我了，一直至今都無戴過，但有兩副平光鏡。
唔知有無關，我小學的成績很差，小四時有個學期共有7科不合格，5年級還差點要留級，姊姊就幾乎都在三甲內﹗不過我當時的是英文小學，一年級的數學課本已用英文，上小四時，除了聖經、中文和社會，其它科目都是該死的英文來呀，我追不上，和姊天淵之別，每學期結束她都一堆獎狀獎品﹗

上了中學，我也是無法好好讀書，因為好快累。但成績卻有很大進步，是否和眼睛改善有關就不得而知，但好似印象中聽視光師話，到青春期發育期間眼睛也有機會改善。

中四中五，因為經常臨急抱佛腳，每每都在臨考試前一天才死拼命硬啃，可是，每讀半小時書便要睡一小時，很快累，但一直都以為可能是身體或壓力的問題。

直至最近知道阿仔有遠視才聯想到以前之所以讀書咁辛苦，讀一陣又要睡.....極有可能也是和眼睛遠視有關吧？？？
但也不用擔心，我之所以看書咁痛苦，是因為可能無戴眼鏡，靠自己協調梗係辛苦啦﹗﹗

但現在呢，人老了，加上可能在十八歲打後做了手術，好似愈來愈減少看書頭暈頭痛的徵狀發生，我想是遠視退了吧？早八九年前，我去驗眼，一隻眼有少許散光，另一隻眼則有一百度左右近視，現在就不知道了....所有事情串連起來，我相信和遠視很有關連呢﹗

不過，我現在既不用戴眼鏡，看事物也很清晰。

希望你們有遠視的孩子都有一天可以好轉過來啦﹗最後目標是﹕不用再戴眼鏡﹗﹗

Dear ALAL,

我覺得係讀書上冇咩大問題，中規中矩，但好易眼瞓，我重以為我懶惰添，呀爸話讀下書要休息下，我喺小學已經開夜車，都冇問題。至於運動方面，游水麻煩喲。
其實我對運動都冇咩興趣.......... :  :  :  :  
記得有一次同同學搭校車，玩玩下飛左個眼鏡落車，番到屋企立刻揾個舊眼境戴，呵！無人發覺喎！！          小心比細佬
