Solar Turbocharged December 9, 2018 Share December 9, 2018 At 9 years might be late.. That was what the doc at eye centre told me. Need to start remediation early. Putting eye patch and exercising the eye.. My kid is now over 9 years I still make her do the exercise. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mersaylee Hypersonic December 9, 2018 Share December 9, 2018 Just ensure kids don’t lay down on one side and use hp or tab or watch tv. Naturally eyes will auto correct after a while but may not be perfectly the same...close enough is good enough. Scare them...their eyes will become one very big one very small like cartoon and headaches like no tomorrow if they don’t heed your advice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is the lazy one will continue to become lazy until one day on serious cases it stops working anymore... i.e. blind Exercising is important to make sure the lazy one work. Lying down on one side.. Franky speaking, I don't remember the doc told us that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lying down on one side.. Franky speaking, I don't remember the doc told us that.. I was told by the optician about that when my two kids had lazy eyes when they were younger like TS case. They are now with eyes of 25 and 50 difference. My boy tried those corrective plastic spectacle available at Popular bookstores for a month...my girl fared better without trying it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought lazy eye need intervention one. But yes.. Lying on one side or wrong posture definitely need to be corrected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy 4th Gear December 9, 2018 Author Share December 9, 2018 Does he need to visit an optician or an eye doc to do the patching? I read that chances of recovery is lower for his age but it might be worth a chance since patching is a Low cost effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Supersonic December 9, 2018 Share December 9, 2018 Go to the national eye centre. My older kid had that when she was in primary school. Corrective glasses didn't really work but the eye doctor gave very detailed training instructions, with some picture cards to be used for my kid to re-train her lazy eye. It took a long time of doing the eye exercises about 30 mins a day every day and it was fixed only after 1+ years. There is no quick fix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic December 9, 2018 Share December 9, 2018 Hi, wish to know if lazy eyes can be cured for children around 9years old. Appreciate inputs thank you Bro, the first thing you have to do is to get out of this forum and get an opinion from a real eye doctor. Lazy eyes aka amblyopia is treatable, but only when the child is small. A 9 years old is a bit borderline, but no harm. As others have said, there's no quick fix. The doctor will give you the real advice on treatment options. You can google for them, but I strongly suggest you get a consult ASAP and get it sorted. Time is not on your side. In private, peadiatric eye doctors include Dr Pauline Cheong, Dr Inez Wong In public hospitals, you can get subsidised care at NUH, SNEC and others. Dr Cheryl Ngo in NUH, or Dr Sonal in SNEC. All the best. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Supersonic December 9, 2018 Share December 9, 2018 Thanks Loki. How old was she when she visited the national eye center? Did you just walk in or got referral from polyclinic or something?Think she was about 9 or 10 yrs old already. I got a referral from the school health services which picked up the problem when they came to her school to do a health check up on the students. I suppose you can go to a polyclinic to get a referral. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic December 10, 2018 Share December 10, 2018 My wife has lazy eyes. One side 300+ degrees and the other side is 600+ degrees. Hers is not curable already, just have to live with it. She has no problem going about her everyday life. Only thing is her lens is expensive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic December 10, 2018 Share December 10, 2018 Eversharp Optics does a good job. Not cheap but good. Try Zeiss lenses. Good stuff. Especially if your job depends on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurty Supercharged December 10, 2018 Share December 10, 2018 lazy eyes can be cured, best is before puberty or at young age like 9. My left eye is a lazy eye, it react slowly as compare to the right. Once you exceed certain age, its kinda irreversible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah maybe the scare tactic has helped...Their left and right eyes myopia difference reduced to 25 and 50 from 100-150 before for them over time.

Good luckEven if it's not via school, he can still get referral via polyclinic.It'll be much cheaper going this route then going direct to eye centre or kk ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
