Dear John,

Subject:  Paper on "watching" children's eyes go down.

It is always easy to document this -- and do nothing about it.

Enjoy,

Some children get myopic.

Was there a point that you were trying to make??

Thanks.

And it's hard to alter the course of myopia.

You haven't done it.

And you are going to put a strong minus lens on it -- and say, gee
wiz, sorry you got staircase myopia from that minus.

Or, you could suggest preventive alternatives -- and ALLOW THE PARENTS
TO UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE PREVENTION ON THE THRSHOULD.

But you are never, never going to do that, as majority-opinion OD.
FINE.

But some ODs are taking that MAJOR, FIRST STEP IN TRUE PREVENTION,
SEE:

AND:

Second-opinion, and SCIENTIFIC PREVENTION best,

How'd it work for you, Uncle Otie?

Last I knew ... until your cataract surgery ... you'd reached at least
seven diopters of myopia.

Doesn't sound too promising.

Keep trying, though.  I wouldn't want to discourage you.

You are hurting people Otis.

You make parents believe that they are to blame if there children's eyes
become myopic, in that way you are hurting people Otis, that's a shame.

You blame, indirectly, youngsters who's eyes did get myopic, they
weren't eager enough in following your method to avoid myopia despite
the fact your system doesn't work.

That's the dark side of your personality Otis.
