[ Note: This is an excellent presentation of the various concepts of negative status for the natural eye. It is nice to see that the second-opinion, that a negative state is self-induced, presented so clearly. ]

Here is the CRITICAL part of the analysis of the natural eye, i.e., the eye’s refractive STATE “changes postive” with a postive lens and

The natural eye “moves negative” when a minus 3 diopter lens is applied.

I thank Christine Wildsoet and her lab for creating the clear image of the dynamic nature of all natural eyes.
SCIENTIFIC PROOF — LIKE BEAUTY, IS OFTEN IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
For the above dynamic images of the effect of a plus and minus on the natural eye — the results and references are presented here.

This is fundamental scientific truth. Each of us, however, must draw his own conclusion about this aspect of natural science.

BELOW IS A GENERAL INTRODUCTION OF THE CONCEPT OF PLUS-PREVENTION:
This concept was developed based on advocacy by Dr. Jake Raphaelson — as a second-opinion optometrist. Today, optometrists like Steve Leung are helping their own children to AVOID ENTRY INTO MYOPIA by these methods. I look forward towards the day when more optometrists enter this field of preventive optometry
ABOUT US
Optometrists who insist that their own children wear a preventive plus — are the optometrists of the future.
Optometrist Steve Leung
Here is a review of how an why Steve Leung could help your child with true-prevention:

Steve Leung’s Vision Center is founded on the efforts, talents, and ideas of many different people. In all dealings with his clients. Steve Leung endeavors to conduct himself with integrity and honesty. Decisions you make, by his second-opinion advice, are made on what is best for you and your childern.
The plus, used under your control — can be effective if started before that first minus lens is “prescribed”. Myopia Free is designed to help Steve guide you in the proper use of the plus for the purpose of keeping your child’s Snellen clear for the child during the school years.

QUESTION AND ANSWERS:
What is your interest in preventing ENTRY into myopia?
I am an Electrial Engineer and a pilot. I believe that we should all be interested in learning how to help pilots (who have the motivation for it), as well as our children learn how to use a plus to avoid ENTRY into myopia.
What are you doing now for prevention?
I always verify my vision on an eye chart at 20 feet. I am required to PASS the DMV test, so I make certain that I pass that test.
Can anyone Guarantee that prevention will work?
No, of course not. You can not guarantee that a person can “lose weight”, any more than you can guarantee that a person will look at his Snellen, and clear it under HIS control.
Why is this site called “Myopia Free”?
Because I judge that the National Eye Institute should supply this information to you — for FREE.

SUMMARY OF MAJOR THESIS
Myopia can be prevented — if you find the right optometrist you trust, and will follow his preventive advice.
Good presentationn of the second-opinion, used by optometrists to protect their children’s distant vision through the school years.
The eye should adapt similarly to the way the other human organs adapt. We can make positive or negative changes based on our behaviors. Choose to make healthy choices.
I like the article.
Your post can be one of my resources to heal eye problems. I learn a lot from your post and I really love it. Thanks.
It was Raphaelson who called the minus “poision glasses for children” that got my “attention”. It was my purpose to justify (as science) that statement. I would only urge all people (at 20/40 and -1 diopter) to be conversant with the possibility of prevention at that point. I am certain, now that pure-science is correct at this point.
Hi Otis – can you please email me with a list of any possible eye doctors who are willing to discuss plus glass treatment for myopia in the US (northeast US) as a second option. I would really like to reach out to that doctor so that I can help calm my spouse about the recommended path I’d like to try with our child.
Kids — creating negative status for their eyes — at a rate of -2.5 diopters in three years.
Subject: From the primate studies it is very clear that our normal eye
“adapt”
to long-term near, by changing their status in a negative direction.
The rate is established at 0.8 diopters per year for 7 year-olds
In 1975, the Young study established the rate at -0.7 diopters per
year.
Here is the report — of the natural response to long-term near.

Obviously if you wish to PREVENT, you would have to insist that the child “sit up” and read with a plus. Equally obvious — no OD can truly do that for your child. This negative status is slowly self-induced.
Like weight loss, or Vision Improvement (by any method that you choose) should require that you read your own Snellen (visual acuity) chart at 20 feet. I have friends who had a -3 diopter prescription but could read the DMV Requirement. Here is how you check. Google, “IVAC Snellen” Then, when that screen is up, press “Display” several times. Go back to 20 feet, and see if you pass the letters presented. If you can, these methods could work for you. Most people NEVER LOOK AT A SNELLEN.
