Re: Book Projector for myopia prevention


Dear BuyWheel,

You will get many suggestions on this issue.

I obviously have my own opinion about this
issue -- regarding PREVENTION, not a "cure".

The two methods of prevention started a long time ago
as an objection to the use of a minus lens.

They are:

William Bates (1920) who argued that the wearing of a minus lens
produced a situation where initial vision of 20/70
(after the application of a minus lens) would
change to 20/200. He advocated "exercises" or
"relaxation" as a solution -- and avoiding the
use of the minus lens.

Dr. Jacob Raphaelso (1900 -- 1968) who
argued that you should be offered a choice
to use a plus lens (magnifing lens) at the
threshold level of -1/2 diopter (20/50) vision.

No one can give you any absolute advice here.

It is of couse very easy to demonstrate sharp
vision with a minus lens. Most people want nothing
else other than that.

But the few who "object" sometimes find that
they can work their way out of it.

It will be indeed a very difficult choice for your. You
might wish to check my site:

We all enjoy the pleasant back-and-forth discussion
about scientific studies that prove the dynamic
behavior of the natural (not defective) eye.

Think and act for yourself. The eaay thing to
do -- is to do nothing.

I hope your son is not yet to far "into it".

Only you are going to actually know the result of any
actions or choice you might take.

Best,

Otis

Otis you seem to know what kind of device I am talking about.... do you
have an idea where I can buy one ?

I am not sure if it works, and I don't think any clinical trials has
been conducted to prove that it does not work either.... what I know
as someone with -8.0 myopia is that I am at a much higher risk in
developing floaters, glaucoma, retinal detachment, macular degeneration
etc when compare with someone without myopia.... so whatever I can do
for my son I will give it a shot, even if it only helps slow the
progression of myopia somehow I consider that good investment.

Thanks.
