... Yes I have said that a minus lens, prescribed to correct existing myopia in humans will not have an effect on refractive error. That limited statement is...
... By "fundamental eye" Otis means "a healthy eye of any vertebrate." Otis takes the scientist's position that any effect observed in a population of healthy...
... But it has been proven otherwise. In studies that I have provided to Otis human eyes have not acted like monkey eyes. In fact, not even all species of...
Subject: There are to many people who put "words" in Dr. Bates mouth, and the condemn him for what he never said or believed. Here is the review of what Dr....
Dear Engineer/Scientists Subject: Changing the refractive STATE of the eye by +1.5 diopters. Alex had made an excellent statement. Do you think Merrill would...
... He passed away in 2003. http://www.indiana.edu/~bfc/docs/circulars/05-06/B7-2006.pdf Likely he would have been interested, as am I, in seeing the published...
Why I support second-opinion PREVENTION, with prevention to START before any minus lens is applied. Dr. Bates described this "threshold" situation as...
Subject: Layman question. Layman: Tell us, line by line of the snellen, what each line represents as a pair of glasses. The top line equals . the ninth line =...
Subject: Where Dr. Bates was correct. But, as the years go by, it would be wise to include the use of the preventive plus, in this process. Which is wear both...
Dear Judy, Subject: Dealing with people who are "evasive" and wish (exclusively) to perpetuate the status quo. I will post this here -- for response later. ...
Subject: Here is the rationale. Judy is not correct. The minus has been used for the last 400 years -- since it was used by Johann Kepler to clear his vision...
Vision scientists George Hung (Rutgers Dept. of Biomedical Engineering) and Kenneth Ciuffreda (SUNY College of Optometry) are claiming that the "temporary"...
Subject: Learing the "new science" of true-prevention. Re: Post 1 Pepole believe what they WANT to believe, or what they are TAUGHT to believe. If they are...
Subject: Dr. Bates wisdom -- for the 21 century Re: Post 2 By Dr. George Hung, K. Ciuffreda Title: "Incremental retina-defocus theory of myopia development --...
Subject: Science supporting Bates/Prentice PREVENTION -- at the threshold. Re: Post #3 Subject: The majority-opinion versus Dr. Bates. It is one thing to...
Dear Frans, Subject: Respect for the ODs who support plus-prevention and have "fought the good fight" -- i.e., Maurice Brumer Re: Post #5 I enjoy listening to...
Dear Frans, Subject: Like Johann Kepler -- the only reason is it used. Here are Judy's remarks. Se is about -4 diopters myopic, and got into it the same way we...
Dear Frans, There are majority-opinion ODs who have no interest in science and statistics. They are very "happy" being myopic and have no interest in the...
... a cut and paste of remarks he attributes to me. Do you have a link to the original post? I think you have attributed Alex's remarks to me. Please delete...
... I wish you would stop attributing statements to me that I have not made. Either post a direct link to my actual words or think of some other topic. Judy...
Dear Judy, Why do you continue with your "farce" that you are INTERESTED IN PREVENTION. You are NOT!!! I suggest a deeper understanding of SCIENCE is essential...
Dear Judy, Subject: TWO parts to a Engineering/Scientific question. Dr. Raphaelson (the world's FIRST second-opinion PREVENTION optometrist), brought into...
Otis, I think OD,s are just medical and not scientific at all. They are only doing a certain general making. It is up to you to take your own prevention...
Dear Frans, Subject: The "medical mind" at work. I report scientific facts accuratly. Because I do that (in terms of objectively measured refractive STATE),...

Subject: Does the over-prescription of a strong minus -- has a serious "secondary" effect. Judy maintains that: 1. It does not!! 2. But even if it does, she...
