More tests ≠ Better health screening package

If you think a health screening package is better just because it has more tests, think again! An appropriate health screening package should include the tests based on your age, gender, pre-existing condition(s), and date of last health screening.

Atropine? Orthok? Bifocal? Contact Lenses? Spectacles? —— whichever option you choose for your child’s myopia control, it is important to FIRST consider the binocular vision status in relation to those options. Get the eyes checked carefully by an experienced optometrist who does those tests. Don’t just jump straight into it just because your friend or neighbour is doing it 🙂
