The "Scam" by the N.E.I. >Although nearsightedness (myopia) is easily treated, it cannot be prevented, nor can you keep it from getting worse when you have it. It often gets worse, sometimes rapidly, until the late teens or early 20s, when it usually stabilizes. [It would be nice if they would show scientific proof for this statement, that "near" and "minus" have NO EFFECT ON THE NATURAL EYE.

Personal Responsibility: Let me add that the ODs over-prescribe by -1 to -3 diopters -- and don't tell you. I suggest you get a Snellen eye-chart (for free) from I-SEE, and put it up at 20 feet. Put a bright light on it and read it. You are required to pass the 20/40 line (and before the minus most can). Most people, at that point can get out of it, under THEIR control. But it does take wisdom and persistence.

An OD is indeed in a "bad position" -- AFTER the child INDUCES negative status. But it was the child's nose-on-page habit that induced the situation IN THE FIRST PLACE. An OD should POINT THIS OUT, and describe prevention (at 20/40, and -3/4 diopters) as the second-opinion. It is the responsibility of the person himself TO PROTECT HIS DISTANT VISION WITH THE PLUS.

i'm already myopia? so what's the point of this? anyway good info for children who're not yet myopic

No, the second-opinion is that the "plus" should be use FOR PREVENTION before any minus is applied.

Interesting statements in public. Optometrists destroy children. Disgraceful!

Listen to Don to minute 2. Then skip to minute 5. Don is very good to devote his efforts to true plus-prevention. Otis
