So this one is kinda still not ready for Ortho-K. No matter how I persuade, cajole and bribe, he remains firm that he wants to continue to be bespectacled.
What about trainings? I ask. What if you perspire and your specs fall off? And… oh, your degree increased again, shall we just try Ortho-K now that you are 9 going 10?
No, is still his answer. Since I’m never one to force, and always believe that we can only support our children when they are ready, here we are with this dude and a slight increase in his myopia after a year with the kids’ trusted Uncle Brian from AeroV.
Brian from AeroV has been caring for the Kao Kids’ eyes for many years now, and we go to him for all our eyecare needs.
Thank God for myopia control lenses in the market. I can live with things going up by 50 degrees every year.

This year, we are trying out a new lens in the market. Calling itself “a game changing innovation in myopia control”, Essilor® taps on its exclusive breakthrough technology to design Stellest™, myopia control lenses consisting of a constellation of invisible microlenses to correct and control myopia by sending a slow down signal that helps prevent eye elongation.
When using myopia control lenses, you need to look at the centre which is the focal point
With more near work using digital devices (especially for this one who loves his devices), I am more assured when he has such innovative lenses on instead of the traditional ones.
At least I know wearing these will actively help to slow down myopia progression, which can accelerate at a very exponential rate at his age.
