I am good friend with ODs and MDs. But they refuse to take any responsibility for any prevention work - when you are still in the "DMV RANGE" for 20/40 to 20/70. (About a value of -1.25 diopters). They will never help anyone. Here is the science - they ignore.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEp455ExN90&t=3sYou know, Todd was correct in this subject. I bear no "ill will"against any OD or MD. It is just that I must "commit" myself to long-term plus wearing, and long-term Snellen monitoring. For myself, I consider an objective Snellen in the 20/25 range - to be a total success. But equally, I can not make any, "claims" about getting out of more than about 20/50.
I just wish that I had had this type of assistance, and education, before I was put into a strong minus, when I could still read the 20/40 line. Maybe you feel the same way.
Thanks Todd - for making yourself successful !!
