Blind Bats Eye Check

It is time again for the routine eye checks. At times like that, I am more anxious than the blind bats. Correction, they are equally anxious bcos they know that their mother is going to scold people if their eyesight deteriorate. 

Lil Shauna started preparing me and told me that she thinks her bad eye is getting worse and she cannot see clearly with her bad eye even with her glasses. My heart got stabbed. Why like that? We just changed her glasses in April 2021 bcos her bad (left) lazy eye went up to 425 (from 375) and the difference is too great to keep her old lenses. It had been 6 months and deteriorated again? I saw her patching and training her left eye regularly as well. 救命啊!

I was prepared to switch Lil Shauna to hard contact lenses that are designed to control myopic. These are worn during sleep and contour the eyeball, such that the user gets almost perfect eyesight the next day. Boo is on them now and is generally glasses-free in the day. There are hassle involved with the wearing and taking care and they of course come with an interesting price tag. Finger crossed. 

Since we were at the optic shop, Zaky got his eyes tested as well. The verdict??!!! 

Zaky's eyesight maintains! Yay! The hoya lenses are working really well for him and his eyesight had been maintaining since he started on them in February 2020. Before that, they had been like deteriorating at 25 to 50 degrees every year.

I was super worried for Lil Shauna. The optician finally exited with her from the testing room to say that her degree for her right eye is good (maintained) but she struggles with her left (bad) eye. The degree remains the same but she is now at -6/6. That means that she gets to keep her glasses. Phew. 

Mummy was in a good mood. We were in JP early and went for A&W. It was our 1st visit ever since it's opening many moons back.

Hmmmm..  there is definitely a lot of hype over A&W. It didn't taste as fantastic as I had imagined it too with all these hype. It had been a long while since I had A&W, having not crossed the border to our neighbour for almost 2 years. The waffle is a lot harder than I remembered it to be and I am very surprised that it is a lot more expensive. Like Carl Junior kind of expensive without the big portion. Oh well, curiosity satisfied and it would probably be a long while before we come back.
