When I read all the challenges above from wedding cost to BTO,  the real issue is not money.  It is their mindset.

Boy, 5, requires surgery on right eye after falling head-first on metal barrier at Changi Airport T3

Sorry, I have no kids but the parents blame the metal barriers?

And isn’t it better to make plastic lens for kids? I’m also using plastic lens.

Anyway, all the best for the kid.

Very weird. My EYE friend says normal polycarbonate lenses can't shatter like that. But I thought plastic lenses are the norm.

Yes, the photo looks like glass lens?

That’s why I thought kids should be wearing plastic lens?

My eye friend said maybe it's glass. Cos plastic also shouldn't shatter until so jialat like this.

Could be the child had some need for high degree correction. 

He said I got mixed up, polycarbonate is a higher tier of plastic. More shatter resistant. more expensive. Usually have to specify u want it.

Mine was plastic lens, but don't if it's polycarbonate. But is's the basoc, so likely just plastic.  Both time I fell hard, the lens cracked but did not shattered into pieces.  Advise all lao lang not to wear lens made of glass.

My son did played at the lower slide on many occasions. It should be the one this 5yo boy got injured. The lower slide is foc for children above 1.2m. 

Me and wifey did played on the bigger slide. The one that need a minimum spending at changi. One slide down per receipt.  I have seen other adults sliding there as well.  😁

The set up to the silde entrance pretty safe proven imo. Zig zag metal grills to prevent kid running around the vicinity. There is also a scanner at the entrance to measure the minimum height. Changing it to retractable barrier will be even more accident prone. 

Yes. An unfortunate accident. Hope the boy recover well.

Glass lenses generally much heavier than the plastic lenses.

I was wearing glass lenses prior to my cataract surgeries. Astigmatism around 1k each eye. Only glass lenses can accommodate such high astig according to the optician.

My astig around 800. I have been using plastic lens since 4 year old.

Glass has higher index. 
Despite lower index, plastic still lighter than glass

My friend said glass lenses are for high degrees and also better clarity.
