Hi Rtd...
I almost agree with you. But I do not completely agree for the follow reasons.
Here is the person, who causes all ODs and MDs to "choke", when anyone suggests that prevention is possible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY9LqQMogX4This is why I will never say, 'cure". It is also why I will never allow myself to be a "critic" of any medical person. I am just
very happy, I do not have to deal with such numb skulls. I do not think you would enjoy it either.
Bates was correct. If you want prevention, you can not wear a minus lens.
It is this blithering idiots that cause ODs to "cringe", when you want talk prevention, in the range of
20/40 to 20/60. (About -1 diopter.)
You are correct, Bates followers, are frauds.
But Bates was not a fraud. +++++
I have noticed something.
Every bates article, every bates youtube video, every bates website, are the most longwinded, tedious, pseudo-scientific ideas you can come across.
If you cannot simplify and summarise ideas, you do not understand them.
Print pushing makes sense and gives results and is easy to understand
