Myopia ... R1 is at Risk

Our family members have discovered that R1 tends to squirt her eyes while watching TV at home. According to her class teacher (about a week ago), she also does that in school (while reading Big Books with her class or when looking at words on the board). Hence, she suggested me to bring R1 to prescribe a pair of glasses for short-sightedness. ** worried **

Btw, I remembered she went for a thorough eye-check with R2 on 25 July 2007 and was being advised that her eyesight was satisfactory (although not perfect). So, little did I expect the progression of Myopia to be so fast !!!

Today, I brought her to an optometrist but due to her young age, I'm being told to bring her to an Eye Specialist Clinic to get her eyes examined. However, an initial test done today confirmed that she's suffering from Myopia. ** sigh, sigh, sigh **

For now, I'm very upset & guilty for not putting enough effort in taking good care of her well-being ... and also wondering was "it" partly inherited (in the genes) from me? ** sigh, sigh, sigh **
