Medical Forum / General / Vision / March 2008Myopia in 20s
I know the theory that the earlier myopia starts the higher it gets but has anyone heard of a similar theory for those who become myopic in their 20s? I've heard that for this group it rarely gets much above -2. Is there any evidence for this theory? Tks Theories, that's just what they are. Learn a little few FACTS. Read the work of Dr. Bates! > Theories, that's just what they are. > > Learn a little few FACTS. Read the work of Dr. Bates!

It isn't a theory. It's an observation that comes directly from counting who gets myopia and when. -MT I understand. So it is possible to predict, in parallel with said theory, what the progression would be for someone who becomes myopic in their 20s? Is it true that it rarely exceeds -2 or can it go higher and when would it likely stop? >I understand.

It can go more than -2.00. It may not. All you can say is, based on what other myopes have done, it isn't likely to get much worse and it isn't likely to continue for more than a few years. -MT There are so many mysteries in this eyecare business. People really have no clue as to anything. It's all guesswork. Learn some facts. Read the Better Eyesight Magazine. Read the 1920s book. All these mysteries are suddenly no longer mysteries...

Dr. > Bates has revealed it all Though Mike said it more succinctly .... Even if you assume that cadaver research, RCCT's, evidence-based, empirical medicine, etc., do NOT yield medical certainty on every issue .... How can you possibly say that Bates's book represents "facts?" Just like Otis, your zealotry represents nothing but fundamentalist religious zeal and blind faith. Go work with a few qualified optometrists and a panel of patients. Get a test protocol designed and try this stuff out. Have the ODs chime in with the protocol and the statistical analysis of the outcomes. Believe me: if it works ... and can be reproduced in other clinical settings ... people will adopt it. WHOOPS!! There goes your conspiracy argument! So sorry.
