Re: Here is why I defend Otis. You optometrists have nothing but excuses, I have proof!

this has been explained to you before but apparently you don't read, or
think, very well!

the guy is describing a classical accommodative disorder caused by
excessive near work. this is also called pseudomyopia. it is not
"real" anatomical myopia but it nonetheless causes the same problems--
distance vision is blurred. he said he couldn't see in class. he
probably couldn't drive safely either. the eye doctor treated him with
an appropriate-strength minus lens and told him to wear it part time
only when he needs it. this condition is self-limiting and does not
convert to full or anatomical myopia. sure-- plus lenses can help
break accommodative spasms. But what you don't realize is this guy is
NOT LIKE ALL OTHER NEARSIGHTED PEOPLE. you try to lump them together
and say that plus lenses work for everybody. MOST nearsighted people
have excessive axial eye length. plus lenses do SQUAT to change the
length of the eye.

so what's your problem? did you want the eye doctor to tell the
college kid in your weblink to "go away and just tough it out" even
though he can't see in the distance?

the minus lenses he was prescribed have no permanent detrimental
effect-- that been PROVEN but you and your pal Otis apparently refuse
to accept the results of scientific studies so I suppose you disagree.

i'm personally tired of explaining the same old stuff to you over and
over again and then showing you the PROOF of what i say using published
scientific research studies and then have you apparently either not
read them, or believe that we're trying to lie to you, or be too dense
to understand, or whatever! you are apparently a crazy wacko who
likely also believes in UFOs and Bigfoot.

get a job, get a life, and quit being such a twit Nancy!

If you read this link, the plus lens saved him. He was 20/40 and -1 and
thanks to the plus and NOT falling victim to the wretched minus, he has
cleared his vision to 20/20 and if he consisantly uses the plus, he
will always pass the DMV. I have shown this link before and all you
majority opinion optometrist can do is make up excuses. It works. Otis
knows. Its proven. The eye is dynamic. Need I say more?

I have shown this link several times and in other forums. Most
optometrists would give him a -1 lens and send him on his way. *why*
would he need the wretched minus lens when a few months using the plus
lens and hes 20/20? You can argue all you want, the proof is in the
pudding. I was never told about this and didnt figure it out and my
eyes have experienced stair-case myopia. There is no changing the past
for me. I sometimes look back and get upset and depressed but have to
accept it as a way of life. My eyes have adapted to the minus and now I
am stuck with it for life. This guy luckily figured it out on his own
and cleared his vision.
