Control Your Child's Short-Sightedness For The Long Run!

Don’t fall short on managing your child’s short-sightedness! If your child has myopia and leads an active lifestyle or prefers not to wear glasses all the time, Acuvue Abiliti is the perfect contact lens solution for myopia management!

With proven efficacy to slow down the progression of myopia while correcting vision in as early as six months on average, Abiliti means your child doesn’t have to put myopia management on hold just because they’re wearing contact lenses. Developed for full-time and full-on armoring against myopia, clinical tests have proven Abiliti effectiveness by simply wearing at least eight hours a day on five days a week. Your child can choose to wear Abiliti throughout, or complement usage with glasses fitted with myopia management ophthalmic lenses. Don’t worry, Abiliti works perfectly with any brand of myopia management ophthalmic lenses, whether Hoya MiYoSmart or Essilor Stellest!

Made with silicon hydrogel, the best material available for contact lenses with the highest oxygen permeability and moisturizing, Abiliti also offers the best quality in wearability comfort, hygiene and handling ease. As a daily disposable lens, simply throw away after each use without needing to clean or store - this reduces the risk of lenses getting infected and also makes contact lens wear fuss-free, safe and quick for your child. Abiliti also features UV blocking for safe outdoors use.

Be Proactive About Your Child’s Myopia

Abiliti works best for children age seven to 12 at the start of treatment. Here’s how to get fitted with Abiliti with our team of professional, experienced and licensed optometrists:

  1. Come for a complimentary discussion on how to most successfully and effectively incorporate Abiliti in your child’s myopia management program.

  2. If our optometrist determines Abiliti myopia management contact lenses are suitable for your child, we will do a trial fitting to ensure the correct prescription and wearing comfort and safety for them. If this is your child’s first time wearing contact lenses, we will provide a wearing and handling tutorial and will only dispense the lenses when we are satisfied your child can safely and ably handle contact lens wearing and handling on their own. This consultation costs $50, but the fee is waived when you buy a minimum of two boxes of Abiliti contact lenses from us. If your child decides not to proceed with Abiliti or any other brand of contact lenses, we will credit this $50 towards purchase of a pair of prescription glasses (one-year validity).

  3. You can conveniently re-order Abiliti contact lenses with free delivery by dropping us a WhatsApp (you can re-order contact lenses for everyone in your family this way, too!). As long as the re-orders are within 12 months of the wearer’s last corneal check, to ensure their eyes are still healthy for contact lens wear, we can provide free delivery. Payment can be safely done through your preferred bank transfer app. We can also process CDC vouchers virtually!

  4. Bring your child in every 3 months so we can do vision checks to ensure the myopia management is working well. Your child should remove Abiliti contact lenses at least 30 minutes before this visit for most accurate results.

Cycle For Change x The Lens Men

#TakeCharge: Energise Your Eyes On The Bike!

We’re proud to be the eye care partner for Senoko Energy’s #CycleForChange, an initiative to clock 1 million total kilometres cycled, which will eliminate 187,000kg of carbon emissions, equivalent to taking about 495 cars off Singapore’s roads. [Click to sign up with free registration, the event pedals through 22 April!]

As you’re observing all traffic laws and practising road safety, keep eye care in sight to enjoy healthy vision on the bike — they will keep you safer while cycling, and will better preserve your sight off the bike and for the road of life ahead. Here are our cycling eye care tips — read on to learn how they can help you win a pair of Sunday Shades polarised sunglasses!

Get Shady: Always Wear Sunglasses With UV-Protection!

Without the physical barrier of sunglasses, foreign objects like dust, grit, pollen, even insects and more can fly straight into your eyes and cause irritation — bits like sand can cause abrasion or worse, a tiny particle of metal can even tear your eye surface.

Also, you may not experience it now, but prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light can cause damaging effects later in life. The two most common conditions are more severe and earlier onset of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss among older adults.

Go Polarised

Polarised lenses block all glare from entering your eyes, especially useful when harsh sunlight is reflecting off long stretches of roads and paths. The most immediate risk of bright sun glare comes from sudden squinting and distractions. Click to see how you can win a pair of Sunday Shades polarised sunglasses with stable, no-bounce fit that’s perfect for outdoor activities!

Pop Eye Drops During Rides

Wind blowing and flowing into your eyes when cycling evaporates their tear film, which causes discomfort and when prolonged, damage to eye surfaces. At best, “dry eye” syndrome is an annoyance and at worst, it can lead to scarring, infection and temporary vision loss. Dry eye from cycling can also contribute to the strain and fatigue you may feel from working at digital screens all day. Artificial tears eye drops such as Systane Ultra and Evolve are without preservatives, and naturally re-wet your eyes just like normal tears. Dab them on during cycling breaks or post-ride.

Get Fit For Your Best Vision Correction For Getting Fit On The Bike With Regular Eye Checks

Clarity is paramount when cycling, especially if you’re a night rider or start your rides pre-dawn — and can make all the difference in spotting road hazards and other moving vehicles earlier for your quickest reaction. This is why you should always ensure your prescription is at its most updated and accurate. Properly eye-equipped, you also won’t strain your eyes as much trying to read road signs and watching out for potholes and scampering critters! An optometrist or optician will fit you with the best vision correction for your cycling needs:

  • Choose a frame that fits stably and comfortably on your face and under your helmet, such as those with non-slip ear tip and nosepads, and are lightweight. You can consider curved eyewear for a more aerodynamic and snug fitting

  • Most sunglass frames and sporty optical frames can be fitted with prescription sun and polarised lenses if you don't like using contact lenses

  • Presbyopes (those needing help with reading vision) can consider progressive lenses to easily read bike computers and fitness watches on the go

  • Consider photochromatic lenses that darken and lighten with the intensity of UV light in the atmosphere, which will also offer some relief from the sun’s glare

  • Consider daily contact lenses to wear and discard on cycling days, so you don’t have to worry about proper cleaning routines and residue building up over the lens’s life span. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses provide the highest hydration levels for your eyes

BONUS! Cycling is a fun and great way to armour kids against myopia!

The World Health Organisation recommends two hours of outdoor activity daily to stem myopia progression by up to 20% — just make sure they’re also practising sound eye care habits on the bike!
