Recently Kyle had his 5 year eye check-up at CCK Poly. He could not really make out a few letters so the doctor referred us to an eye specialist at KK, just to make sure all was ok. We could not be certain whether he really could not see the letters, or he was just being distracted and mischievious and not wanting to concentrate.
As it turns out, he has a mild case of astigmatism in his left eye and his right eye has a degree of 25. I am actually not quite surprise considering both his parents are quite "potek". Even hubby has astigmatism. But lucky for us and him, at the moment, doctor say no need for glasses yet.
To reduce myopia, doctor also told Kyle not to spend more than 40 mins in front of the computer, and not to watch televison while lying down. I remember starting to wear glasses in primary school and I guess my son is gonna follow the same trend soon.
