By Donald Janiuk, O.D., Poway (metro San Diego), California:

“I always tell myopic parents I want to try to prevent their children
from ending up like us myopes.

If I see their hyperopia dropping near plano, I will always suggest
plus lenses to relieve near point accommodative stress as well as give
them behavioral and environmental suggestions that will reduce the
accommodative stress of their school work” . . .

“Based on over thirty years of clinical experience I have found that
those myopes who remove their distance Rx, and/or if necessary wear an
appropriate stress relieving near Rx rarely progress to any
significant degree.

Those myopes who continue to wear their distance Rx for prolonged near
work will almost universally develop more myopia than those who remove
their distance Rx for near work.

I prefer to use the neutral term "Refractive STATE" for clarity, but
this optometrist is correct.

When your refractive STATE is zero (measured with your own trial-lens
kit, and under YOUR control) it is indeed necessary to start the
PREVENTIVE process.

The issue is truly the education and support of the parent for this
new scientific method of prevention.

Enjoy the successful preventive second-opinion,

It's important to understand why he is pathological, obsessive, and
dishonest about this subject.

From: http://www.chinamyopia.org/Preventionmagazine1973.htm

"When Otis S. Brown was a young boy, he dreamed of someday
becoming an airline pilot. In fact, everything he did throughout
those early days in grade school was aimed at achieving that goal.

Then, disaster struck, and Otis Brown's dreams of becoming a
pilot faded as he was fitted with increasingly stronger minus
glasses to correct a worsening case of myopia, or nearsightedness,
a condition which causes distant objects to appear blurred."

I'm sorry your dreams were shattered, Otis, but that's no excuse for
lying and hurting people.

As it's a prevention, not a cure, I presume that candidates have to be
started from, what, 2? 3? 4?

You just don't understand, do you? You can be 250 years old, and
"prevention" still will fix your vision. It's not a cure, to be sure,
but you can "clear your Snellen". Just slap that chart up on the wall,
and look at it every day, and in no time your Snellen will be "cleared"!
