The learned men on this forum should explain to the weak people that
come here to ask for advice why:

1) A man goes to the doc and complains about his own imperfect sight
2) Doc prescribes glasses
3) Man resents the glasses and does not wear them
4) Man resents the glasses and he does wear them
5) His imperfect sight either way goes worse
6) In case 3 he is blamed by the doc, in case 4 he is not blamed, just
patted.
7) His imperfect sight remains stable (surely other symptoms are
developing underneath, though)
8) Since nobody can tell in advance if case 3 4 or 5 will happen,
please explain why this stuff is called "science".

It is just groping in the dark at the expenses of poor weak people.

In my experience, number 5 is not correct.   Myopes between the ages
of 10 and 25 can expect some progression, then vision will cease
getting worse.  Presbyopes between age 40 and 55 will have some
progression and then stabilize.

Number 6 is not true either, most docs believe that wearing or not
wearing glasses does not affect vision, except for amblyopia, so they
will not "blame" the patient in number 3.

And you forgot 4 (b) and 7 (b); while wearing his glasses the man sees
well.

Someone with simple myopia can hardly be called "weak", at least by
reasonable people.

That's kind of the whole purpose, isn't it?  My life would have been far
different without glasses or contacts.  For most of my life, the
farthest I could see clearly without correction was about an inch.  Some
people with myopia can at least do close work without correction.  I
couldn't.  There's almost nothing I could do without correction.  I had
"perfect sight" most of my life, I just had to wear correction.  Not a
big deal, especially as compared with trying to live without it.

My question
Would You wear correction all the time if you had for example only -1.0

>Number 6 is not true either, most docs believe that wearing or not
>wearing glasses does not affect vision, except for amblyopia, so they
>will not "blame" the patient in number 3.

Last time I went with my friend, he got told off! For not wearing his
glasses! (He has myopia and astigmatism). The man was on the verge of
shouting! And you say doctors will not blame the patient? It is not
so!

>How about the women?

Yes yes, women also. But just takes longer to type 'learned men and
women'.

>There's almost nothing I could do without correction.

There is! You could begin to demonstrate that it is possible to cure
your eyesight by means of rest methods and by imitating the actions of
the normal sighted eyes. Forget your 'correction'. Seek real cure!

I had "perfect sight" most of my life,  I just had to wear correction.

Then it is not 'perfect sight', it is 'perfect correction'.

Your own human body eyesight remained the same. Only you were able to
focus correctly because of an external and artificial crutch.

>Not a big deal

It is very much a big deal. Only it is you that perceive it as not a
big deal, because you have never experienced the marvels of natural
perfect sight. You have never truly seen the world, until you learn to
use, without strain and effort, the instruments that nature has gifted
you with.

That is, the mind and the eye.

>Men in glasses looks very attractive.

No, glasses retards the natural beauty of the face and makes it look
artificial and machine like and even scary (you should just look at my
great grandfather).

People with glasses looks disgusting, only society has 'become used
to' it because so many idiots is now wearing glasses. Even there
exists a new level of stupidity; people is desiring to wear glasses
even if they do not need it, this new destructive breed which call
'designer lenses'.

Such is the impact of your society.

>Would You wear correction all the time if you had for example only -1.0

No, certainly not. I would never wear correction if it was the last
thing I did.

How about you? Do you enjoy looking stupid? Do you enjoy being weak?
Deidara - 17 Aug 2007 21:07 GMT
>Someone with simple myopia can hardly be called "weak", at least by
>reasonable people.

They are indeed weak. They require an external crutch in order to
'correct' the most important of receptive senses: vision.

It is a dependence, a weakness, a chronic addiction to strain.

It is like smoking, or taking drugs. Only it is worse -- You must rely
on it 24/7, just to cope with life. The 'correction' addresses the
symptoms, and not the problem -- just like with smoking and stress.

The smoker smokes in order to relieve the stress, yet the smoker is
brought no relief from the problem. The stress returns, sooner or
later.

It is not a solution, or at least not a good one; it is only
temporary. And like taking drugs, the quantity must be taken in
increased increments, the more the drugs is taken.

It is the same with imperfect sight; the patient must keep suffering
from his reliance. And his dependence increases, the more he wears the
glasses. And his sight is never improved, always worsened.

And it is a continuing circle of pain. Until the idiot wakes up, and
sees that all which was done on behalf of a 'cure' to his problem, was
futile. His bad vision had remained in spite of everything the doctors
gave him. Until he takes off his glasses for a short period, say a
week, and realizes that after the week his glasses seems 'sharper', or
'stronger' when he puts on the glasses, then it was before. And he
begins to investigate the true facts: is vision really incurable?

And then the idiot begins to seek cure, and becomes an intelligent
person who is relieved of his idiotness, or his addiction, or his
strain, or his reliance, or his chronic addiction.

Dear Deidara,
>Would You wear correction all the time if you had for example only -1.0

It was , actually question to Dan

>How about you? Do you enjoy looking stupid? Do you enjoy being weak?

But, still people in glasses does not look stupid, they look cute.
I am not wearing.
Probably, it bothers you , when your friend wearing glasses.
If his prescription not really big he can live without most of the time.

>Last time I went with my friend, he got told off! For not wearing his
>glasses! (He has myopia and astigmatism).
What is his prescription ?

Doctor was WRONG! If he can he should not ware glasses.

My friend was packed in glasses +1 ( 6 year ago)( it is not matter really +
or -) with smart DOCTOR to were all the time, And then in Progressives, which
stop eye from working at all. He sees not far not near as the result.

Do NOT WANT EVEN TO DESCRIBE how WE went to  “SHE-DOCTOR” recently!
That one was so smart that having + 3.5 for reading he was reading in +6 !
The “doctor” told that he will use to that. It took me a lot of effort to
take  him of that prescribtion.

As Dr Judy had rightly mentioned "Teenage angst".Once she attians the

Judy and Churie,

You might not be aware of it, but Deidara is actually our Quasimodo,
aka Revival, aka Kaze, aka Kakuzu, aka Zetsu, aka Hoshigaki, aka
Alphonso Eduardo, aka Shaan Iqbal, aka Revival Little Brother, aka
Horatio Bates, aka so many other names that I cannot recall them all
at the moment.  He thinks it's smart.  He hates.  He lies.  He is
arrogant.  He believes he owns the truth.

Is he really 15 yrs old?  I doubt it, but who knows?  Does it matter?
He is so full of himself and the crap that's filling his head.  He
thinks he's smart, but if he was 15 and smart he would know that he
had not yet aquired enough information, knowledge and experience to
speak with so much unfounded confidence.  And if he is not 15 (which I
seriously suspect), then his arrogance is not less forgivable.

He refuses to provide any evidence to support his claims.  He would
not tell even about his personal redemption experience from myopic
darkness to... to what?  except that he was dancing in the northern
sun with joy of vision...  Is he myopic?  I bet.  Is his myopia
cured?  I seriously doubt it.  But he won't tell, and even if he did
-- who can believe him?  He is a creature with no credibility
whatsoever, who insists that humanity must listen to his mesianic
message.

He is smarter than Otis, but not much, yet he lables everybody who
does not blindly follow his prophecy "stupid".  He thinks that he will
not be presbyopic when he grows up.  He claims to have the cure for
glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and any other eye disorder.
He "knows" what causes all these problems.  Really smart.  Probably
the smartest man ever.

Actually, he is a little nobody who probably has no life outside the
Internet and I suspect no friends in the real world.

Regarding his phobia of eyeglasses (poor soul, it's obviously hard to
live with such intense negative emotions):  Remember how he took a few
days "off" because the new Harry Potter came out?  But Quasimodo,
Harry Potter WEARS GLASSES!
Deidara - 18 Aug 2007 08:58 GMT
Well then, Harry Potter is a bit of an idiot isn't he?

Anyway, since we are on the topic of Harry Potter, what did you think
of the latest book? Deathly Hallows? I queued up  with my friends and
I had to stay outside the shop for 2 nights!! Just to get it! I was
one of the first ppl ever to get it. But I thought the ending was a
bit crap (I mean come on... 'the scar had not bothered him for 19
years. all was well')

Anyway I didn't know people in America read Harry Potter. Do you read
stuf flike Lord of the Rings as well? And His Dark Materials? They are
like the best books eva! What other stuff do you read? Favorite book
ever? Which??

CORRECTION:

I wrote:  "if he is not 15 (which I seriously suspect), then his
arrogance is not less forgivable."

Of course, I meant to say "not less UNforgivable,"  or possibly "not
more forgivable".

I am glad you took the first portion of the comparison to Otis as a
compliment, although the second part stated "but not much."

First of all normal age of presbiopia around 55 not like here not like  now
40
Teenager, explains all !  
Probably we will be more wise now, at our marvelous 40, not trying
To make feel her guilty.  It is just sometimes women , how she wants to see a
men .
She did not mean to insult us hyperopic/presbiopic,   wearing progressives
and having double vision from multifocal contacts.   Us, at forties.
Here around me 5 pair of glasses of my friend and we can use them all and
with a grate success! Probably with the time we will became so experienced in
these manipulations, that we can use, let me  say three pair at a time,
simultaneously. Been so active part of so intense traffic of glasses I still
can say that men in glasses look very attractive , only women should keep
track were they are.

Hi,
Please check on the age once again as Presbyoipia starts setting in
from the age of forty  + and it is not manditory that all who are
forty + will be so and this not a thumb rule.

In a way you are right.  Deidara does use many names.  In fact he has
at least 10-15 different aliases that he posts in this newgroup
under.  This is but his latest one.

It's not the latest, and there will be more.  Or maybe not, since
Quasimodo does not like to do what's requested or expected from him.
You see, in order to continue to be self righteous he must persist and
do what he has always done, otherwise he is in danger of losing his
self righteousness.

So now he is in a hard place.  If he creates new alter-identities, I
will be right, which would make him not righteous.  But wait!  I also
said "or maybe not"!  So he loses one way or the other.

Well, he can always send his little brother "too" the rescue...

Lena,

Who and what are you?  You are switching your positions from post to
post.  Are you drunk or something?  Or maybe just an "undecided"
one?

I have read some of your posts about progressive glasses.  Amazing!
Where did you get such weird ideas?  Can you think clearly at all?
Apparently you came here from Otis' site and i-see.  This NG is
different, so perhaps you should give it a few days of reading before
you jump in?  i-see is a place for people in search of religion.
Otis' yahoo "group" is... well, there are no words to describe it, but
one thing is guaranteed:  You will read there the same gospell of Otis
again and again and again and again and again...

Oh, about progressives:  They are actually multi-focal without the
sharp jumps from zone to zone, and are prescribed for people who
already lost part or most of their accommodation, usually due to age.
Thus, progressives do not cause loss of accommodation, but rather
enable a person who has already lost it to see at various distances.

Dear Ms Brainy

Prevention does not means for me cure.
We are trying to prevent for example high blood pressure, and so on  with
exercises
and diet.   Does it works for everybody?  Certainly no.

>Thus, progressives do not cause loss of accommodation, but rather

Yes, provided that it is almost lost.

> are prescribed for people who
>already lost part or most of their accommodation

When it is not really big  part they steel can accomodate.

It is not really good idea at 41. When add only +1

Hmmm.  I think the question to ask here is:

Why is Deidara so rude and insulting to those who wear glasses and why
is she telling them off?

Some people choose to wear glasses, some don't.  Some people like to
see clearly, some would rather see blurry.  Some people think glasses
are ugly, some think they are sexy.

You are entitled to your opinions, others are entitled to theirs.
Don't force your opinions on the rest of the world, the rest of the
world won't force their opinions on you.
