Hi Wheelie,
I have been called all kinds of "names". That is OK. It is the visual welfare of the person that is important to me.
It is true that Jake is, "all over the map", and in fact, self-contradicts himself. But he posts this remark about a
medical doctor INSISTING that his own child wear a plus for all close work:
Otis, and Jake> Update about Nate and child, 3/18/16. The child was -1.25 diopters (20/60). After wearing a +2.25 doipter for ALL CLOSE WORK, the child is at 20/25 (for a child, virtually perfect.) Please note: The eye goes down at a rate of -1/2 diopter per year, for EACH YEAR IN SCHOOL (Dr. Young plus study), if a plus is not used in this way. The plus can not "cure" in that sense. Long - term prevention, requires that Nate keep after his child, to wear the plus, when the child gets back down to 20/30. Thanks Nate, and Jake - you have done it right !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lxDeSBhyjYJake is not aware of that steady, -1/2 diopter per year, per each year in school. I think Nate is aware, and will keep his own child, WEARING THE PLUS THOUGH THE SCHOOL YEARS.
Guess what? That does not cost Nate any money. When I suggest, "myopia free", I mean a family, where the medical-doctor parent, fully realizes the CONSEQUENCE for his child's long-term vision - if the child refuses to wear the plus for all close work.
The parent (Nate) must check the child's refraction and visual acuity, and the child must exceed the 20/25 line. So I regret that Jake does not understand this issue. Is Nate a "Crack-pot" for being very intelligent, and protecting HIS CHILD"S distant vision for life?
Jake calls Otis' method crackpottery:
Then there's the new bit of crackpottery that is "plus lens therapy". People's imagination is sometimes equally stunning and lacking, all at the same time. Let's find a quick fix for everything! This one too, in video form on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4k30dbjSc0
