Dear Judy, What you mean when you say "scientists" -- is other majority-opinion ODs who have no true interest in prevention. I suggest that there is a need for...
... I am well aware of the studies in which hyperopic animals were forced to wear minus lenses all waking hours. Perhaps you should review other studies in...
Dear Judy, Subject: The REPEATABLE scientific experiment. (To determine if a population of natural eyes are dynamic -- versus NOT being dynamic.) Are you...
... I have answered this repeatedly in the past week. My answer is the same: It depends upon which population of eyes. If a population of young hyperopic...
Re: Plus lens Dear Scientific friends, I truly dislike the word "cure" -- because that puts me INSTANTLY in conflict with a large number of medical people. The...
Dear Prevention minded friends, I do not like admitting that people have more personal courage than me. But this is about a man of great courages -- about ...
For your interest: I suspected but just found out for sure I have a large cataract in my left eye and a tiny one in my right eye. I need to have it taken care ...
... Many surgeons will order an ultrasound exam to see behind the cataract. The concern is not with completing the surgery but in finding that there is a...

Subject: The effect of lens on the eye's refractive STATE. Dr. Bates' second-opinion on the effect of the minus lens on the eye's refractive STATE. ...
There has been considerable argument that a person's accommodation can change and produce 20/20, but the eye's refractive STATE has not changed at all. To...
... What argument? Every hyperope does this everyday, all day long. ... Like trial lenses and the phoropter, the Focometer may not pick up hyperopia if the...
Dear Judy, You have your judgment -- I have mine. It is up to the person himself to learn how to make his own measurements of his refractive STATE. The reasons...
... I don't understand how measuring refractive error will help in answering the question of whether refractive error changes during accommodation, which was...
Dear Judy, I would agree with you if you said that you have no ability to PREVENT entry into a negative refractive STATE. Further, if you agree that YOU in...
Dear Judy, Subject: Using NEUTRAL words -- PLEASE! Judy -- if we are going to study the dynamic behavior of the natural eye, and the mesurement thereof --...
... I have never claimed that ability. ... You complain that optometrists ignore the "science" about myopia prevention and fail to inform patients about...
... What is your definition of "refractive state"? I would hate to use those words incorrectly. You wrote: "There has been considerable argument that a...
Dear Judy, From the long history of this subject -- and to avoid the intense bias of these words -- I will say that the primate studies are ONE measurement of...
Otis> I would agree with you if you said that you have no ability to PREVENT entry into a negative refractive STATE. Judy> I have never claimed that ability. ...
Dear Judy, Would you agree that this is an accurate measurement of the NATURAL EYE'S change in refractive STATE with a CHANGE in accommodation of -3 diopters...
Sassy: Subject: In science you learn to ask NEW questions. Do not ask abut the "cause" of presumed "defect", but rather, aak, is the eye dynamic. Maybe that...
Statement by H. S. I spent $900.00 for an eye check up. I paid $300.00 out of my pocket for two pairs of nice reading glasses. I went to pick them up. They...
Subject: The effect of lens on the eye's refractive STATE. Dr. Bates' second-opinion on the effect of the minus lens on the eye's refractive STATE. Prentices'...
... I think it is clear from my earlier comments that I agree with the standard definition of refractive error which is measured at far with the eye not...
... I have never called anyone an "optometrist basher" because they claimed prevention is possible. I have only used that term when the person has berated...
... As I have told you many times, I do agree that the eye can change its power over time. The diagram you provided was one by Wildsoet to illustrate ...
Dear Judy, Would you agree that presenting science and facts ACCURATELY as per below is NOT OPTOMETRIST BASHING?? There is MORE THAN ONE WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE ...
Subject: "Margins of Science"? Re: Say "Margins of MEDICINE" and that would be correct. The broad expanse of SCIENCE is the issue at this point. Enjoy, Otis ...
