Dear Scott,

If she wears that over-prescribed minus 16/7 -- and gets stair-case
myopia
from it, why then you are correct. She will need the copy
in braille -- after she develops her detached retina.

Second-opinion best,

What is an "over-prescribed minus?"

Do you have any evidence that the original poster's prescription fits
your definition, above?

Do you have any evidence whatsoever that anything works any better
than the following advice:

1) Low, simple myopes may wish to remove their glasses for near work

2) Pay meticulous attention to good visual hygiene, including frequent
breaks,

3) Get lots of fresh air, sunshine, and vigorous exercise,

4) Eat a healthy, balanced diet,

5) Practice ocular motility exercises (a/k/a yoga for the eyes),

6) Use periocular warming

??

This 'protocol' has been scientifically shown to counteract ANY
UNPROVEN ill-effect of a minus lens that you have EVER proposed.

So ... can you do any better??

And ... to clarify my last point ... the "protocol" is my own, but is
based on years of research, including watching hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of posts of testing that represents inhumane and
irrelevant tests, FOLLOWED by invocation of scientific testing that
shows how even the damage done BY those tests is reversed by one or
more elements of my "protocol."

In other words, even if you stick an unnecessary lens on a particular
species of monkey, 24/7, you can reverse the unrealistically induced
myopia by giving that poor monkey frequent breaks FROM the lens.

But you don't care.

Facts and controlled testing don't get in the way of YOUR opinions ...
at ... all.

Your mum is wrong. However, if you drive a car without your lenses, you are
endangering yourself and others, and probably committing a criminal act.

No, but that is a great idea.
I will try to post them at the library of congress in braille.
I heard that libraries in europe, england have the magazines.
They might have them in braille.
