Advice for 9-year old newly in glasses.

Mr./Ms. Szczepan, what planet are you on?

 

actual amount of tension generated by the ciliary muscle is relatively
small.

But something in the front part of the eye must deform. Lenses, cornea
and/or pupil.

accommodation has been experimentally-tested in real-time ultrasound
experiments and found to be invalid.

This are details. If shape of the eye is the same then the deformations are
inside of the front part of the eye. But the cornea must react a little for
such.

I recommend an alternative medicine site.

In science are steps. The first is an observation ( Newton's apple). To find
a reason of the myopia epidemic all observations should be taken into
consideration.

From such where people eat from 1g (somewhere in Brazil) to 50g (somewhere
in China) and nobody know what is better.

We know myopia exists.

We know that many people are myopic.

Recognizing the problem IS the 1st step in the scientific method:

1) Recognize the problem - we have;

2) Make observations about the problem - we have;

3) Establish a hypothesis - many have;

4) Design and conduct experiments to test your hypothesis - many have;

5) Based on those experiments, form a conclusion - many have

The purpose of a science-based forum is to discuss things with a
grounding in science, and the scientific method -- things that have
been consistently shown to be both safe and effective.

What you're talking about DOES belong in an alternative medicine
forum.

It has no experimental evidence to back it up.

Just like Otis: the experimental evidence shows your theory to be
invalid.

 

Many observations then can be summarily dismissed, depending upon
one's level of education and knowledge.

 

Let us consider the two:
1. Reading causes myopia,
2. Myopia causes reading
The second is rather new. Here is the proper hipothesis: "Myopia is caused
by muscle weaknes (J. Bershak). So we need next hipotesis. My is: "It is
caused by deficiency of minerals". A good source of minerals is unrafined
salt made of ocean water. See how much is there magnesium and sulphur
(important for muscles)

Things are changing. Till now my intuition was not bed.

one's level of education and knowledge.

If it is new sometimes it is proper to verify it.

Look out ironjustice, here comes saltman.

 

I did a search on "bershak j" in Pubmed and nothing came up.

It is here: http://www.i-see.org/bershak.html

Sportsmen must eat salt (much more than 15 grams). Why children (which are
very active) are different?

It reads like a preacher of the Bates religion. I particularly was
impressed by his lack of a bibliography.

And what's with this "orthodox optometry" stuff? Bates has been
rejected by all visual scientists across the board.

Anyway, you've now earned a place in my killfile.

 

i really like the way you cut to the chase.

I was about to post a response until I read your's. that's "nuff
said."

 

so details of how the human eye actually functions are not important?

you are making claims that are simply untrue. do you ever research
things before you speak?

Why?
and perhaps it does react "a little" in some insignificant microscopic
fashion but that reaction has no influence on human vision.

you are incredible. you give advise but you have NO VALID
information.
you need to read and study some instead of giving people advise.

there are many levels of stupidity. the worse is the person who is so
stupid that they don't even know they are stupid. I think that is
you.

 

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM?

 

One of the things that education and knowledge gives is the ability to
recognize when something is actually new, or just new to the person
presenting it. Your "new" information gets discovered and presented to
this group about every three months, for the many years I have been
reading the group.

From http://www.i-see.org/perfect_sight/:

"William Horatio Bates (1860-1931) first published his treatise, The
Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses (title page), also
known as Perfect Sight Without Glasses (cover), in 1920."

After scientific studies disproved this method of cure, eye doctors
stopped recommending it.

 

"Dan Abel"

The both method (Bates and Bershak) are very difficult to understanding and
time-consuming. So they are impractical.
But they discavered that the external muscles affect the focusing and
recommend the eye muscle training. But we know that all training is
succesful only when no mineral defficiency. So my suggestion to improve
muscles by minerals suplementation. Kids have much opportunity to training
all muscles so is quite possible that the issue is in nutrition. Many
research is still undone.
S*

 

The both method have chance to be succesfull only after changes in
nutrition. People eat what they want and it is not wrong. But eating salt is
not allowed and this is probably wrong. Table salt is now a "technical NaCl"
and this is also wrong.
S*

 

Not advice but suggestion and my conclusion after study.

I know that I am full of doubts. So I present my conclusions here and
appreciate any answers.
