Re: Book Projector for myopia prevention

Dear BuyWheels,

Subject: The SECOND-OPINION for prevention of a child's negative
refractive STATE.

Yours is an excellent idea. The "projector" is called a "View-Graph",
as we called it when we used it.

You will find S.O. ODs who completely support you concept at:

www.chinamyopia.org

And I would sugget reading his site.

There are also M.O. ODs who are hostile to the concept
of prevention -- as you propose it.

I have prepared a PREVENTIVE site (as an engineer) to
help you sort out these issues.

I believe that nearsighedness (a negative refractive STATE)
of the fundamental eye is PREVENTABLE, but with
some obvious difficulties.

The projector idea is excellent.

Best,

Otis

Assuming too much close work triggers myopia in some children, I am
looking for a projector that can project a book page onto a screen, to
help my son who love reading so much but is starting to develop myopia
at the age of 8. Much like the transparency projector we all know
about, I am talking about the type that project the image of a
non-transparent object like a book page. It has a camera type device
that 'reads' the book and send the signal to be projected.

Does anybody know what is the name for this device and where can I buy
one ? I remember seeing it in a university library many years ago but
can't remember what it is called.
