Judy, Why don't yous answer MY QUESTION. You take a population of natural or fundamental eyes. The issue is to determine if a sub-set of natural eyes are...
Dear Judy, I know that true-prevention is difficult. i.e., Snellen clearing (and postive change in refractive STATE). Further, I would agree that you are not...
... I stated that in my post about the child. Since I already stated it, why are you asking if I agree? ... I do not understand what you mean by "dynamic eye...
Dear Judy, I do not agree that a "dead eye" represents the refractive STATE of the living eye. The child has a (living eye) refractive STATE of +1/2 diopter --...
Dear Judy, Let me quote you correctly. You are stating here that it is IMPOSSIBLE to even avoid ENTRY into a negative refractive STATE -- by any method, Bates...
Dear Friends, Subject: The DMV standard of testing. Re: It runs from 20/70 (Florida) to 20/50 (Texas) and 20/40 (with both eyes, or the better eye for most of...
... Likely not. Hard to predict without actually doing it. In office, if he was left with the glasses on in the waiting room for half an hour or so then he...
... I would not say impossible. But I would say that no method of prevention has been shown to be effective. ... I have no reason to believe Bates was making...
Dear Judy, Since a cycloplegic makes the eye "dead" -- in every sense of the word -- I see NO VALUE AT ALL IN THAT MEASUREMENT. I suggest that a person...
... Guess you have seen a young accommodative esotrope. Through cycloplegia I have prevented true blindness by finding the +6.00 hyperopia is causing a...
Dear Judy, I do like to hear your opinion. Your discussion about a child with (variously) +1/2 diopters refraction (or +3.25 diopters) was very interesting for...
Subject: When should a plus lens be used? I like to have the full statement. Here is the mother's (Janice) original question about her child's refraction, of...
... Do you mean what refraction would be found over, ie while wearing the plus three? If trial lens refraction or retinoscopy was done while the child was...
Dear Judy, There is no doubt that there is a profound difference between refracting a "dead eye" -- your so-called "objective" method, versus determining a...
Judy, you have your opinion, that a minus 3 diopter has NO EFFECT on the refractive STATE of the eye. In your office, you can believe anything you wish to...
... I don't understand why you say there is a difference. The method I used to do a cycloplegic subjective refraction is exactly the same method I use for non...
Good, then you agree that a -3 diopter lens has a profound effect on the refractive STATE of all natural eyes? Yes or no on this one, Judy. Just "clean" basic...
BatePlus.txt Dear Friends, Subject: A discussion with a Bates advocate about the plus. While the use of the plus is perhaps difficult, it has indeed been...
Dear Prevention-minded friends, Subject: Basic science and fact about the refractive STATES of the natural eye. Re: Questions asked by "Blue Eyes" about...
Blueeye3.txt Dear Blue Eyes, Subject: It is a profound tragedy -- that "conventional practice" so totally dominates and DESTROYS OUR VISION. Re: And, even...
Question: What is your currecnt Snellen? Max> So I'm still puzzled as to why more NVI people don't publish their successes in the form of before and after ...
Dear Friends, The natural eye responds (as a proven dynamic system) to a plus and minus lens as shown here (blue-tint model). There are others who argue that...
Dear Friends, I post this for your interest. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/807275/ If you have an interest in prevention -- I strongly suggest you start the...
