Dear Anti-minus friends,

Here is a statement by a majority-opinion optometrist.

If you do not get "support" for prevention (Bates or plus)
then here is the reason.

In this statement a M.O. OD describes himself as a "God".

It is always impossible to argue with God.

This is EXACTLY what Bates complained about -- and
the reason he wrote his book about it.

Best,

Otis

From Dr. Grant

speaking seriously, and as a professional, there are a few
points I wish to make.

1) In my consulting room, as you correctly stated, I am god.

2) I earned that right through study, hard work and developing a
reputation for quality work, excellent results and caring for
my patients and their welfare.

3) You have not earned that right. You are a pathetic little
pissant that insults the very fibre of prevention of myopia.
You do not deal with 20 patients a day wanting to see
clearly, you do not have to ensure that a kid can see the
board in class, as well as read and function outside the
classroom.

4) You have no concept of the issues, I and every other OD must
face on a daily basis for the best welfare of each and every
one of our patients. You prefer to pontificate about evil
minus and second opinion crap , whose supporters are less
credible than yourself.

5) You keep talking about second opinion doctors, but never name
any other than Steven Leung. Why is this? I do know several
OD's in Hong Kong and Singapore and Steven Leung is held in
the esteem that I hold you and Nancy. He has no basis to his
method, he just uses the fear of parents to sell his glasses
for his own profit. His website is a fraud and most of the
links don't work. There is no scientific validation, just
fear-mongering.


All in all, you are a pathetic, miserable sycophant that has
nothing to provdie other than fear. No answers, no proof,
nothing.


Crawl back under your rock and fester away.

Dear Second-opinion friends,

As before, the arrogance and ignorance of Grant (CatMan)
shines though.

Yes, he knows how to quick-fix with that impressive minus.
But hell, ANYONE COULD DO THAT.

With a basic knowledge of physics and optics -- I could teach
you how to do that in about a week.

In about two weeks (with a trial-lens kit) you could be
measuring refractive STATES -- with greater accuracy than Dr.
Grant.

But always remember Raphelson's statement of "The Printer's
Son".

You can not have a "quick-fix" minus -- and effective
plus-prevention.

This is an issue that you must decide BEFORE some "God" in
his office over-prescribes a minus lens and creates stair case
myopia for your kid.

But that is the nature of the PREVENTIVE second-opinion --
and your need to face scientific facts (that Grant ignores) and
reach a conclusion if you wish a second-opinion OD like Steve
Leung help your child with plus-prevention.

That is truly the issue. At least you have heard the
majority-opinion -- loud and clear.

Best,


Otis
