uFamily encourage us to participate in family activities

Friends sometime lament about lack of time and venues to engage in family fun.
They wonder why we got so much time, and venues to enjoy family time.

As one of NTUC’s uFamily Blog champions, our job is to encourage more families to go out and play. Read on to discover how uFamily will reward you to participate in family activities 🙂

Everyone only got 24 hours a day.
If Daddy is not making an effort to engage the kids, he will be watching movies, busy with PS2 and Wii, or even sleeping zzz. Blogging seems to be a more wholesome pastime, Daddy gets to document our family memories, and we can share our experiences. Read our blog Vision :

We recommend Eyelet Junior for active kids

[ Sponsored ]

Thanks to Nanyang Optical, our eldest boy Boon Wee got a new pair of Eyelet Junior eyewear recently.

As we had mentioned earlier, bespectacled kids should not let their eyewear disrupt them from enjoying sports. Eyelet Junior is designed with active kids in mind.

Eyelet’s tagline is “Stable on your face”, and they got a question for parents :
Would simply getting the right prescription be an assurance of good visual solution?

There are many factors which can affect a child’s vision:
a) Sliding spectacle should not be one of them. This happens easily when kids perspire.

b) Kids like to pull their spectacles out with one hand, instead of “sliding” the spectacles out with two hands. Over time, the temples (sides) will be lopsided.

With above two issues, it means kids’ eyeball and lens focusing-alignment will be out. Eyeballs will be straining to adjust to new “focusing” length.

Enter Eyelet Junior, this eyewear stays stable on your face even when you’re moving about ! This is true even for kids who participates actively in sports.

Eyelet’s unique design allow the frame grips our face’s contours comfortably.

Our friendly optician at CompassPoint’s Nanyang Optical help us to understand good eye habits, and how Eyelet Junior can help us.

Some recommended Eyecare Tips/ Good Habits :
– Reading distance must be minimum 30cm between eyeball and book
– no lying down to read storybooks
– ensure bright illumination, so eyes need not strain
– taking a break from computer game or TV program every 30min

Boon Wee has a bad habit, he likes to see from the side of his eyes. We hope Eyelet, together with “Zeiss MyoVision” will train his eyeballs to look straight.

Modeling time, Boon Wee gets to choose his preferred colour 🙂

Boon Wee has his specs for almost two weeks now, and we are convinced that Eyelet junior is suitable for active kids.

Our boy mentioned that sweat will not flow to the front of his specs, and blur his vision. When he plays basketball or badminton, the frame grips better and will not slide.

Mummy loves the lightweight frame, and Daddy loves the Eyelet design. We love how “Zeiss MyoVision” lens keep Boon Wee’s eyeballs focus at the same spot. The lens are coated in such a way that only vision through the center is clear, and the sides, blur. Kids will instinctively train their eyeballs to the center.

…some more Eyelet Junior benefits.

Eyelet frame might not be the cheapest, but we recommend you to trial it first. See how Eyelet will help your kids cope with myopia.
