Dear Karl,

Actually, preventive methods have been "around" for
the last 100 years.

The methods of "fixing" the eye with a lens go
back 400 years.  They all work, and are impressive
in their own way.

But a number of ODs and MDs (notably Dr. Bates), realized
that the "quick-fix" minus lens has a secondary consequence.
He advocated "exersize" or "relazation", but was totally
ignored since these methods profuced no "quick fix".

The only other method that could work -- would be
PREVENTION with a plus lens.  But that process is
not based on "exercise" but rather an understanding
that the eye is a "dynamic device" and is controlling
its REFRACTIVE STATUS to its average visual enviroment
(as a sophisticated system -- not as a broken camera).

You can find Dr. Bates on www.i-see.org.
Alex Eulenberg has his complete book for your review -- for
free.

Let us know what you think of these alternative
PREVENTIVE methods.

Best,

The research is not done properly otherwise the whole industry of
refraction business will fall down, at least before science.

They do a crippled research, using blind groups, so they have the same
wrong statistics for ever.

A "blind" group, used to shed light?

A simple contradiction.

Unless medical men will learn that each individual is built unique,
they won't help anybody really. They will go on selling their false
science and propose "quick un-fixes" to the gullibles.

Inbtelligent people will discard very soon these kind of researches
because they are false.

The succes of marketing of this S.C.N. is just a marketing success:
since it thrives on effort, it won't help to heal the eyesight: it
will help to improve, just as th eyesight improves when you stay
without glasses for a while.

But if the addiction to glasses is recent, I believe the
effort-methods have some utility in prevention, for a time.

I bet that all the positive results claimed from the S.C.M. people or
other system advertised on the Internet, as far as I know, will fall
down in time, because with effort, you tire, before or after.

Only rest rests.

Karl, the "See Clearly Method" is just about useless. Exercise-based vision
improvement methods DO work, under the supervision of a Vision-Training
Optometrist. They must be set up for the individual case; it does not work
otherwise.

You can find out more about Vision Therapy or Vision Training at
http://www.covd.org or http://www.oep.org and at my newsgroup about the
system, "Focus On Vision Training." There is lots of literature and
scientific papers, in my group files, at the OEP and COVD web sites, and
online elsewhere. It is not difficult to find.
