Medical Forum / General / Vision / March 2005plus glasses
I dont think a +1 or +2 is enough. For fast improvment You need more.+4 or +5,So Im taking them off for hours a day and when I do put them on there just strong enough to see close with a little blurr. Dear Heynita, As you know, I advocate that we be offered the use of the plus BEFORE a minus lens is used. Under that circumstance, I believe a "wise" person could retain "clear" vision through four years of college. In fact, I advocate that these ODs be prepared to DISCUSS this possiblity (ONLY) with that initial step into nearsighedness. That would place responsibility DIRECTLY on the person to make that decision which will have life-time consequences for him. You can see how "un-popular" that idea is on sci.med.vision -- which forces the person himself to conduct his own review. I believe that will be the future of prevention -- lead by a very courageous Steve Leung. It is time we learn (together) to "change our ways". Best, Otis Engineer > I dont think a +1 or +2 is enough.

More is better in this case. For fastest improvement you need a +10 d minimum worn around the clock. If you're going to do it - do it right!! frank Dear Heynita, Some people are jerks -- in any profession. The approach I advocate it that an OD have an INTELLIGENT discussion concerning PREVENTION -- before a minus lens is used. The fact that a minus will instantly "clear" your vision should be demonstrated. But the "secondary effect" should also be described to you. Since "prevention" is only possible at the threshold, you could then "research" the concept -- and make your choice. The minus lens is like an "X-Ray". Necessary at times -- but with certain subtle risks. You also know that people like "Andrew" and you-know-who are totally opposed to the use of the plus -- for prevention. So the "opposition" is not only the ODs, but the Bates people also. However, when used "agressively" by Jon and Mike, the method has been successful -- but they have total "control". Go figure! Otis > Dear Heynita, > > Some people are jerks -- in any profession. I totally agree. But most engineers are reasonable and have the ability to be objective and look at rational evidence so don't be so hard on yourself. frank |
