Dear open-minded friends (close-minded optometrists excluded),
If you love your children, you should not allow them to become
nearsighted and have poor vision for the rest of their lives.
Nearsightedness is unnecessary.
Nearsightedness can be prevented, controlled, reduced and cured.
In our experience, it takes only days to see improvement in vision if
you do it right.
Here a young college student who found our website on the internet
started vision improvement around
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:59:19 -0500
and notice some improvement in vision before
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 23:59:58 -0500
when he replied to us and told us that his vision had improved.
Here is the correspondence between Ken (name changed) and us for your
interest.
Best regards,
Myopia Cure Promoter

Like prescription glasses, laser surgery is just creating another
problem to solve one.
Therefore, it is not a solution.
I had blurry vision since I was 3 years old and it continues to
progress to be worse.
Instead of minus glasses, what if we wear plus?
(put no strain on the eye, so there is no unnatural stress on it)
how would our eyes change shape to cope with the new situation?
Is there a way?
I am sick of wearing them, so unnatural.
*************************************************
Dear Ken,
Plus lens method is one of the most effective ways to reduce or cure
myopia if it is not too severe. Plus lens stops eyeball elongation
and change the lens in the eye back to its original thin shape which
reduces myopia or cures myopia if eyeball elongation has not started
yet.
How myopic are you right now (what is your current prescription)? Let
me know and I will tell you how to use the plus lens in your case.
Best regards,
Sean

woah, this was no joke.
you actually replied??
how severe...
minus 7.75 or something like that.
I am not sure.
It's so bad.
*************************************************
Dear Ken,
It is not very difficult to keep myopia from getting worse. It is
quite easy. Basically, all you need to do is to use weaker glasses or
wear reading glasses (plus lenses) over your regular glasses (full-
correction) or contact lenses.
0.50 to 1.25 for outdoor activities (driving, bicycle riding,
operating dangerous machinery, etc.)
1.50 to 2.50 for indoor
2.50 to 3.00 for near work (reading, writing, computer work, etc)
For example, if you are -7.75 right now, you can wear
-7.00 (which is 0.75 weaker) for outdoor (driving, sports, etc)
-6.00 (which is 1.75 weaker) for indoor (talking, chatting, eating,
.....)
-5.00 (which is 2.75 weaker) for near work
You can also wear reading glasses (plus lenses) over your glasses or
contact lenses. For example, you can wear
-7.00 for outdoor
+1.00 over -7.00 for indoor
+2.00 over -7.00 for near work
To simplify things a little bit, you could wear, for example,
-7.00 for outdoor
-5.50 (or +1.50 over -7.00) for indoor and near work
I hope you got the idea.
If you do it properly, your myopia will be reduced and your vision
will improve. Myopia reduction is a by-product or side-benefit of
myopia control.
Before you start, you should check your eyes with the eye-chart at 20
feet (6m). If you can see line "15" with your -7.75 glasses (check
one eye at a time), then your eyes are -7.75. If you can't see line
"15", but you can see line "30", that means your eyes are 20/30 with
the glasses and they are -0.50 worse than -7.75. If you use the
glasses properly to improve your eyes, as suggested, a few days or a
few weeks later, you will be able to see line "15" with the same
glasses which means your eyes have improved. So the eye-chart is one
of the way to check your improvement.
Another way of checking your improvement is by checking your far
point. Far point is the distance at which the letters on a piece of
paper change from perfectly clear to very slightly blurred.
f (in meter) = 1/D
For instance, a person who is -5.00, his/her far point is 20cm (about
8 inch)
f = 1/D = 1/5 = 0.2m = 20cm ~= 8 inch
When his/her far point increases to 25cm (10 inch), he/she has improve
to -4.00.
D = 1/f = 1/0.25 = 4
He/she is now 4.00 myopic. (His/her eyes are actually +4.00. He/she
needs to wear -4.00 glasses to see line "15")
Computer work, reading, and all other near work, create a lot of
stress in the eyes due to accommodation. Reading glasses, if use
properly, will eliminate accommodation completely!
Reading at the far point will eliminate accommodation completely. For
instance, if you put on a pair of +2.5D reading glasses (over your
regular glasses), the letters on a piece of paper will change from
perfectly clear to slightly blurry as soon as you move the paper
beyond 16" (40cm). Reading at the far point means reading at the
maximum clear distance.
f (in meter) = 1/D => D =1/f
In this example, f = 1/+2.5 = 0.4m = 40cm ~ = 16 inch
Reading glasses from +1.5 D to +3.0 D are recommended. Choose the one
that you can tolerate and feel comfortable.
If your monitor is about 20 inches away from your eyes, then +2.0D
reading glasses will be better for you. I hope you get the idea.
This website is very good and I highly recommend it:

Subject: Re: Is there no other way?
WOW.
I have never seen so much information.
Thank you.
And the methods are not that expensive.
Wear reading glasses over your own glasses.
Basically you have reduced the power, therefore making the eye muscles
work.
Since a slight blur is not clear, your eyes automatically attempt to
correct.
And through many times of repetition, the eyes get 'stronger'
Thank you again, I am going to buy one of those reading (plus lense)
glasses.
And I see how long you messages are, how many people do you reply to?
Lots of work I bet.
You really made a difference.

Subject: Re: Is there no other way?
Hi again.
I bought reading glasses but I can't see anything.
When I do my homework, I have to go close (about 30cm from page) to do
the work.
Is this fine? Glasses + (+1.75 reading glasses)
I would like to say thank you.
I never knew that this and that causes myopia (humans naturally
shouldn't have this problem)
I believe there should be some national action because eye care
industry I bet is liking that more people are 'slaves' to their
products.
*************************************************
Dear Ken,
>> I bought reading glasses but I can't see anything.
You can see almost everything, especially indoor, but they are just
blurry. If you think it is too blurry for you, try to use weaker
reading glasses. For example, use +1.00 instead of +2.00.
>> When I do my homework, I have to go close (about 30cm from page) to do the work.
>> Is this fine? Glasses + (+1.75 reading glasses)
Yes, that is fine, as long as you are looking at the page at about
your far point. (Again, far point is the distance at which the
letters on a page changes from perfectly clear to very slightly
blurred.) For instance, if your far point is 50cm but you are reading
at 30cm, that is not good and not recommended. There is still quite a
bit of stress involved. On the other hand, if your far point is 35cm
and you are reading at around 30 to 35cm, that is good.
>> When I do my homework, I have to go close (about 30cm from page) to do the work.
If you don't like to be that close to the book, try to use weaker
reading glasses which will increase your far point.
>> Glasses + (+1.75 reading glasses)
If using this glasses + (+1.75 reading glasses) and your far point is
really 30cm, then, from my calculation, this glasses is about 1.50
weaker than your eyes.
D = 1/f = 1/0.3m = 3.33
D = D(eye) + D(glasses)
D(eye) = D - D(glasses) = 3.33 - (+1.75) = 1.58 ~= 1.50
Try to choose the glasses and reading glasses that will allow you to
work comfortably at the distance you like or are used to.
Also, you don't have to wear reading glasses over glasses if you don't
want to. You can just wear, for instance, -5.00 glasses for doing
homework. Try to calculate or figure out the power you are
comfortable with and order the glasses here:
http://www.zennioptical.com/
They are not expensive at all. Lowest price is $8.95 plus $4.95
shipping & handling.
>> I would like to say thank you.
It is my pleasure to help you.
>> I believe there should be some national action because eye care industry I bet is liking that more people are 'slaves' to their products.
I really hope there is a national action.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

I am very pleased to say, that my vision actually improve from
previous~!
I am serious! When I used to look at the gas station letters (about
30-40m away) it wasn't that clear, it was blurry. But the sharpness
increased.
Thank you so much.
I will continue to pursue for healthy eyes.
No more questions, though. You've answered everything.
