    DrHarris> During the course of treatment the role of the
lenses often changes.  Whereas at first they helped to maintain a
good working distance and helped the child concentrate better,
later on they take on more of a role in the prevention of the
development of nearsightedness.  You may have noticed that more of
your excellent students are nearsighted and wear glasses or
contact lenses to see clearly at distance.  There are links
between doing large amounts of sustained close work in people who
are goal-oriented and detail-oriented and the development of
nearsightedness or myopia.  You may have also noticed fewer of
those children with learning problems wearing glasses.    Once the
vision therapy has helped the child acquire the visual abilities
necessary to learn and once they begin applying themselves in
school they become at-risk to development of nearsightedness.  The
stress-relieving lenses help to prevent this.

    Keep an open mind about plus-prevention, and second-opinion
doctors.  Learn from them.

    Your children could avoid ENTRY into myopia -- if you support
them.

Best,

Otis
