Otis, you don't even know how to read. From the paper you quoted
above:

"Based on their wearing patterns, subjects were divided into four categories:
(1) full-time wearers;
(2) myopes who switched from distance to full-time wear;
(3) distance wearers; and
(4) nonwearers.
Exponential functions were fit to the individual refraction data. The age of
onset of myopia, the mean myopia at onset of spectacle wear, and the refractive
shift over a period of at least 3 years were derived from these fits. Results
show that the 3-year refractive shifts are not significantly different among
the four groups."

This paper proved the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you are always trying to tell us!

In case you are too dumb to understand that, let me say it simpler: The paper
proves that Mike is right and you are wrong!

Please go away. And take Atchoo with you.
