Medical Forum / General / Vision / January 2005vision development
Can anyone please tell me the stages of vision development in children (by age),or refer me to an appropriate source. Thanks alot Dear Naama, Subject: Refractive changes in children? Perhaps you could be more specific. Do you mean refractive changes of the eye as the child grows -- starting at age 5 through 25? Best, Otis Engineer > Can anyone please tell me the stages of vision development in children > (by age),or refer me to an appropriate source. > Thanks alot Here's two sources. There are many more, and if you could be more specific of your needs, perhaps we can refer you more appropriately. http://www.bausch.com/in/vision/children/eyedevelop.jsp http://www.tsbvi.edu/Education/infant/page7.htm OTIS BROWN WARNING: Do ignore posts from Otis Brown. He has an agenda, is zealot who preaches on vision issues, his concepts without merit or scientific proof. --LB, O.D. Doctor of Optometry Dear Larry, Subject: Why "explode" when I ask a simple question? For clarification: I only make statements about the behavior of the natural eye -- in terms of refractive behavior. Thus the natural eye is dynamic -- or not. I use the term "refractive state", and talk about the natural eye changing, when a minus lens is applied to it. If you do not like a scientific approach then I regret that. I do not provide "medical" advice. Best, Otis Engineer > > Can anyone please tell me the stages of vision development in children > > (by age),or refer me to an appropriate source.

Don't "Dear Larry" me. Just go back into hibernation. You weren't missed. No one cares about you, Otis, except to be rid of you. And that's pretty sad. Ok, Larry, No more Mr. Nice Guy. Otis Otis Brown wrote: > No more Mr. Nice Guy. Gee, Otis . . . I'd hate for you to trade that sunny disposition for . . . I dunno' . . . facts? How about, no more Mr. Otis Brown? ============================= This posting is an automatic reply to any sci.med.vision newsgroup thread that is receiving comments from a person named "Otis", "Otis Brown", "otisbrown@pa.net" or "Otis, Engineer". Otis is not an expert in any field of vision. His medical and eyecare training is nil. He is a proponent of a myopia prevention technique that is unproven. In addition, Otis continually misquotes people in his posts. He drops the names of doctors whom he falsely claims to be associated with. He has been caught in out-and-out lies. He has given people incorrect medical advise. Sadly, his behavior suggests he may have psychological problems that compel him to argue against people just for the sake of causing an argument. Otis is what is known in internet newsgroup lingo as a "troll". Do not reply to his postings-- it just takes up bandwidth and storage space that should be reserved for meaningful topics. It also just fulfils his sick psychological needs. No one means to suppress the honest opinions of others. This message is only meant to forewarn anyone who might misconstrue Otis as a trained eyecare expert. For anyone who is interested in understanding the current state of scientific/medical research on myopia prevention, I offer the following link: http://annals.edu.sg/pdf200401/V33N1p4.pdf. If you have other topics you wish to discuss, there are experts here who will usually help you. Don't waste your time with Otis. Please see the weekly posting "welcome to sci.med.vision" which usually appears on Mondays, for information on how to filter out Otis' posts so that you may be able to participate in worthwhile discussions in this forum. > Ok, Larry, > > No more Mr. Nice Guy. > > Otis > I do not provide "medical" advice. No more nice guy Otis, Bull sh.t. Definition of Medical Advise: Assessing a patient’s condition qualifies as “medical advice” If you aren't assessing your so called imaginary subjects eyesight, then what are you doing? Throwing plus lenses in front of their eyes for experimentation? Don't believe me? Try Googling the definition of medical advise. That's what I did. Allen Dear Allen, While you are "ranting" I would also suggest you understand the meaning of a "second-opinion", specifically when "experts" profoundly disagree on even the most basic points. There are ODs who in fact agree that the minus lens "in not a good idea", and that its use is driven by immediate public need -- and not much else. (If the ODs made THAT arguement -- I could accept it.) For the second opinion you might enjoy reading: www.chinamyopia.org Or are you to "thick" to understand the concept of "second opinion"? Best, Otis Engineer
