Please, note that Perfect Sight has nothing to do with PLUS LENSES or
any other type of lenses usage.

The theory which our friend Otis - an old man who wears thick glasses
and does not comprehend at all what normal vision is - so strongly
advices is completely wrong.

Please do not reply to this message.

So are you saying that if I had spontaneously grasped the functioning
of all parts of the eyeball as well as how my brain processes visual
signals, instead of having to learn this information from other people
who dissect eyeballs and brains for a living, my vision would
miraculously correct itself to 20/20?

Please, many people have asked you to go away and stop posting here.  Why
do you think you can ignore them and then expect to control what other
people post?

Are you a fascist to ask a person to go away?

Really the use of glasses and butchery treatments destroy intelligence
and bring on stupidity.

Please, ignore my posts.

Stay in your stupidity and let me do my own thing.

f.ck off.
Wooly - 05 Feb 2005 00:23 GMT
Hmmm.  Your thing is the promulgation of an unproven theory which when
you are questioned you are unable to defend.

Are you licensed to operate an espresso machine?  If so such licensure
does not transfer to the practice of quackery.

Go feed your ducks.
Wooly - 05 Feb 2005 00:21 GMT
Neither dumb nor ignorant.  I notice you didn't actually answer my
question, so possibly you're having trouble reading it.  Allow me to
rephrase:

If, when I was a 4-year old child I had miraculously grasped the
gestalt of human human visual input processing would I now have
perfect vision instead of the "GEEZUS CHRIST LADY DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT
777??" vision I have today when my glasses aren't on my face?

I recognize you were mde a victim of wrong and surpassed treatments.

I'm sorry for you.

I was a victim myself in 1982 at 13 years.

It took to me 9 years of trouble and then another ten to understand
better.

You are now fortunate to have met me.

But I do not think that your fortune can overcome your deep stupidity.
Wooly - 05 Feb 2005 13:46 GMT
And yet another non-answer.  Want to make it a hat trick?

So you're saying, essentially, that you don't have a clue, don't have
a program, and don't have anything even remotely intelligent to say
about this so-called "spontaneous sight correction" you've been
touting.  

Now who's stupid?
g.gatti@agora.it - 05 Feb 2005 19:26 GMT
You are stupid because you do not know of what I al talking, you dumb
idiot.

Study the facts: remove the glasses for one week and then see what is
your improvement.

Just get a Snellen chart and read it every day for few minutes at
various distances and in different light conditions.

Then you will have the right to say something about the Spontaneous
Understanding of Perfect Sight.

I have spoken of UNDERSTANDING.

You do not seem to manifest any of it.

Please, f.ck off and get lost!

The only "improvement" that comes with removal of my glasses is that I
get a weight off my face.  See 777 comment of earlier post.

>Just get a Snellen chart and read it every day for few minutes at

I can in fact read a snellen chart - with my glasses on my face.

And you don't seem to grasp that you still haven't answered my
question.  Then again, the play on words and subtle sarcasm may be
lost on a non-native speaker of English.  [See, I'm giving you credit
for being ignorant.]

>Please, f.ck off and get lost!

No can do, buster.  I'm one of those liberated women who know how to
read a manp and who isn't afraid to stop and ask for directions.

Also, I doubt you could afford me, vis-a-vis the first recommended
action.

You have to read it without glasses, why do you insist to prove
yourself as a GREAT DUMB IDIOTIC BUFOON???

You are the great ignorant and stupid man.

Sorry, I did not know you were a lady.

Excuse me for my foul language.

Now, please, get lost, I am not interested to talk with stupid ladies
as well.

You remove the glasses then we will see.

Such is your stupidity: can't you see that you are helpless?
RM - 06 Feb 2005 18:48 GMT
If you take off your glasses and read a Snellen chart at various distances
everyday you will eventually memorize it.  That is Rishi's proof of a cure.
Then he will recommend sungazing which will really improve your acuity
(=sarcasm.  Don't do it please)!

Not miraculously, it's simply how vision is.

The only thing that you must grasp is this: learn to see best
where you are looking and let go of the things you are not
directly regarding.

When you try to see equally well the point you are
directly regading  and something else, your vision
becomes impefect. When you learn how to see best
where you are looking you'll be cured.

For example: this very letter O you should look one
part at a time and realize that the part of the letter
that you are looking at is blacker than the rest. If you
try to see the O equally well, you are trying to do the
impossible and trying to do the impossible is a strain
and strain to see is the cause of imperfect sight.

Dear Rishi,
Subject:  Politics make strange bed-fellows
This is interesting.
So now you SUPPORT the
ODs on this site who are
"opposed" to the use of
the plus for prevention.

And in fact, if they attempted to
offer YOU the use of the plus
(for prevention) you would sue them!

They have every right to point
this fact out to us -- as the
real reason they cna not
offer the plus to the general
public.

In fact I understand their motives
and insightes on this subject.

This is a good reason why ODs
and MDs have attempted to
"slow down" the use of the minus -- but
they can not stop it.

But, my friend -- enjoy.  We present
our ideas and concepts -- and even
"hopes" for the future.

Let us continue this work as freinds
with the hope of a better future
for all of us -- and our childrens.

Best,

Otis

g.gatti@agora.it - 04 Feb 2005 21:52 GMT
Otis I am not interested in plus because it is a wrong method: once you
know the truth about vision, you will discard the wrong treatments.

Please don't be bothered, forget.
RM - 06 Feb 2005 18:42 GMT
> So now you SUPPORT the

You never listen troll.  Noone here opposes the use of plus for prevention.
We just won't recommend it because it has been shown not to be effective.

Anyone who wants to use plus can do so of their own accord, it won't hurt
them.  We just won't give them false hope like you will because we could be
held accountable if it doesn't work.

> And in fact, if they attempted to

Don't piss Rishi off-- he's your only ally here numbskull.

> This is a good reason why ODs

Yes-- at our last conspiracy meeting in Jamaica we agreed that we need to
slow down the use of the wretched minus lens because some smart rebels like
yourself were figuring out what we were doing!

How romantic!   You fool!

otisbrown@pa.net - 07 Feb 2005 16:35 GMT
RM,

Interesting!

The "standard method" of the last 400 years has been the
minus lens.

If you love it -- then use it.

If you wish to better-understand the behavior of the
natural and fundamental eye then I suggest the
person himself review direct experimental data
where you place a minus lens on  a poulation
of eye.

In terms of funamental science (i.e., direct measurement,
YOUR MEASUREMENTS, you will find that the
refractive status of the eyes with a minus lens
will move "down" relative to the control group.

If you don't believe this -- then re-do the
experiment.

If you still don't blieve this -- then you are
not fucntioning on an engineering-scientific
level.

RM (and OD I believe) can state that the
general public wants their eyes "made sharp" instantly -- and
will not tollerate ANY discussion about prevention.

And in a way -- I agree with him.  Most people
lack the motivation to use the plus "correctly".

But the advocacy still exists as "the second opinion"
and as stated by Theodore Grosvenor and Francis Young
(just talked to him).

All intellectual "struggles" create this type of
"attitude".  It is important, however, that
you face facts -- as stated above -- and
draw your own scientific conclusions
about the dynamic nature of the
primate eye.

Please remember these are frendly and open discussions
about alternatives -- that might be of interest to you.

Best,

Otis

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.

But you must IGNORE any data on humans wearing neutralizing correction.

Consider ONLY what happens in animal studies using vastly inappropriate
lenses.

Hi,

My wife and I are gibbons.  Our son is a nine year-old gibbon--that's an
ape, remember, not a monkey.  Lately, I've noticed that he must hold the
books very close to his face when reading, and has consistently had to sit
in the front row in classrooms to read the chalkboard.

I'm worried that he might be developing primate myopia.

His p.d. is only 12cm, which -- I think -- makes him a poor candidate for
eyeglasses, and his hands are particularly rough and hairy, perhaps making
him a poor candidate for contact lenses.

Along with this is the stigma of being a fourth grader who needs corrective
lenses which, I fear, may only get worse as he gets into adolescence.
Offsetting that, however, is the fact that we're a very arboreal family.
We're tree-swingers.  Always have been.  Probably always will be.  I want to
make sure little Gib retains his depth perception.  Quite important,
dont'cha know ;-)

Does anybody know a way that I can keep my little monkey (I know: he's
really /not/ a monkey, but that's a term of endearment his mother and me use
for him!) from progressively becoming more nearsighted?

TIA!

All lenses are inappropriate.
By definition of "lens".
