Dear Prevention Minded Friends,

Subject:  Vision clearing from -1.5 diopters (20/60) to 20/20 --
     by applying the "Pullman" scientific concept correctly.

RM-OD> Anyway, who cares if Francis Young believed plus lenses
      would work anyway.  A lot of people believed that back in
      the 60's and 70's.  Francis Young was an important figure
      in his time but lots of research has occurred in the
      meantime and the results clearly show plus has no
      beneficial influence in humans.

Re:  The person concerned with protecting his distant vision for
    life cares greatly about prevention-with-plus even as you
    (majority opinion) choose to deny it.  This suggests that
    the person has little choice but to "do it himself" under
    the guidance of a prevention-minded OD like Steve Leung,
    as the accepted "second opinion".

Re:  Applying the principles of the scientist Francis Young for
    the PRENTION of a negative refractive state for the
    natural eye.  (Pseudo-myopia.)
    Here is the commentary for your interest.

    Obvously some scientists take objective facts concerning the
natural eye's proven behavior seriously.  It is equally clear that
RM chooses to ignore these critical scientific facts.

Subject:  Remarks by Jon on keeping 20/20 -- now, and into the
       future.

    Prevention with the plus means that a person starts using a
plus before he begins wearing the minus.  The natural eye "adapts"
very rapidly to the minus and makes "vision clearing" almost
impossible as stated by some.

    The "easy" way is indeed the minus.  It take a great deal of
fortitude to use the plus aggressively and clear vision to pass:

1.  The 20/40 line (to drive a car) and then with more work

2.  Clear the 20/20 line.

    Here are some remarks by "Jon" who has gone through this
successful process for your interest.

    Some people ask for "proof".  Perhaps their is no proof,
other than your own experience and what you see when your are
obviously successful.

    Best,

    Otis

    Subject:  My eyes reaction to no plus

Dear otis

Jon > I have stooped wearing the plus lens for about a week.  My
    vision hasn't gotten worse, or gotten better.  I can't
    give you my snellen measurement because I am away at my
    uncle's house, and his computer is in a room that is only
    12 feet long.

Jon > My eyes have gotten used to focusing automatically.  And I
    don't have pre-presbyopia from using the plus, like my OD
    said I would.

Jon > I am happy at 20/20.  When I get my license in a year,
    nobody will be putting a minus lens on my face.

Dear Jon,

Subject:  Successful Clearing through accurate understanding of
     the implication of the Oakley-Young "Pullman Study".

    You have done what most people consider is impossible --
i.e., clearing your vision from -1.5 diopters (or 20/60, I
believe).

    It takes great personal fortitude and good judgment to do
this -- and I am pleased you have succeeded.

    Strange as it sounds, our eyes simply go "down" when you
place them in a more-confined environment.  This is proven by the
"primate" studies.  The "conventional" ODs totally ignore this
data -- and insist that we ignore it also.  Wrong!

    Once you have achieved 20/20 (refractive status approximately
zero) you can "relax" -- and quit the use of the plus.

    The 20/20 will "hold" as long a summer lasts and into the
fall.  In fact you need do nothing at all now -- but engage in
out-door sports (best for the eyes.)

    Once you start school, you only need to monitor your eye
chart and restart the "plus" when you vision starts "down" again
-- as all normal eyes do.

    It has been a real pleasure for me to listen to you as you
worked your way out of nearsightedness.

    In your college years you can continue to analyze this
advocacy (and Francis Young's Pullman Study) and make more sense
of it.    before you I know of few have mastered the scientific art
of clearing their vision with their own intelligence and great
motivation.

    Keep me posted at to your thoughts.

    Best,

    Otis
