Subject: Myopia Manual

Dear Steve,

thank you, I will make appropriate updates in the next version of the manual, to empasize more the prospect of preventing to become myopic at all.

I guess, however, that people will read my paper (and everything else about myopia) only if the problem is already there (it's like with everything in life, "people learn from damage only" - a literal translation of the German proverb "Aus Schaden wird man klug"). If we can influence just some people, however, it's worth the effort.

Best wishes

Klaus

Dear Dr. Klaus,

Are you editing the latest version of your manual?

I like prevention before nearsightedness rather than prevention from getting worse.

　

Sincerely,

Steve Leung

Dear Dr. Schmid,

I would like to emphasize the imperative use of plus lens for prevention. Now, I encourage my own child put on +1.50 at time of read and write . Of course, she has perfect vision and only at the age 4.

Dear Dr. Schmid,

Undercorrection is a way to minimise the bad effect of minus lens for myopic subject.

I suggest fogging with plus lens prior to any start of myopia at time of near-work.

Prevention is the best.

　

I believe myopia is developed because of tensed ciliary muscle which leading to axial myopia. Fogging with a plus lens is the same idea as undercorrection to myopes. Perhaps, permanent fogging to a new born eye might result into deprivation myopia. And I believe that once the new born eye is fully visually stimulated in the first few years of life, deprivation myopia should not be taken place for any reason.

　

I recommend fogging for part of the time but not permanent nor constant. For myopes, I do recommend them to put on plus lens on top of regular glasses (i.e undercorrection) as frequent as possible. The stronger plus lens, the maximun relaxation. But definitely not permanent. They all felt slight improvement of vision with the plus lens gone. Plus lens is the most effective way of early myopia correction but not minus lens compensation.

　

I myself is nearsighted, I regret I had not been given a plus lens either for far fogging or near reading when I was a young boy at the age of 11. I wish I could have had the chance of prevention or even recovery.

　

sincerely,

Steve Leung
