Invitation To Participate In the Research Study : A Study on Refractive Error, Amblyopia and Strabismus in Singapore Preschoolers.

Just when I'm thinking of bringing Jamie for her 1st eyes screening at a polyclinic, I received a letter in our mailbox, Invitation to free eye check for Singapore Chinese Children Age 6Mths - 6yrs. Wow, So that means, Jeremy will get his 1st free eyes screened too!! The best part is, after the screening and interviews, I will receive a total of $40 !! Hurray!
Many tests were carried out before the results are out. And the biggest problem the kids have to face is, dripping eye drops !! Jamie's worst. She wailed, struggled, rubbed eyes, doing all sort of things to protest! And so her results were not 100% accurate while Jeremy managed to complete all the 4 types of eye drops though he was a little unhappy. The results? Both have refractive error, but do not need spectacles. A bit 闪光 (within the range of 50) but the person told me its very common and normal as so far, very few kids have 100% normal sighted. At the end of the day's eye examination, Jamie & Jeremy do not have Amblyopia and/or Strabismus. Phew! Thank God!!
