Method of alternation of lenses. Whether it is applied in America?

In Russia we apply a next way. The medical sister periodically changes
lenses in a frame of the child. The child looks through them at the
table for check of visual acuity and tries to consider minimally
possible letters. Various sequences of alternation of lenses with
various dioptries are applied. For example, +1 and +2. Or 0 and +1.5.
Or-1 and +1. Time of alternation from 30 seconds till 2 minutes. Thus
the degree of a pressure of accommodation periodically changes. Also
alternate positive and negative lenses. Are applied also automatic
foropters.
Whether such methods and means in the West, in America are applied. How
experts estimate their efficiency?

 

It is very difficult to understand what you are saying. Perhaps you are
using an automated translator? Try having a live interpreter do it for
you. It sounds like you are describing a form of eye exercise, visual
therapy or orthoptics. Yes this is done in the US, but not much because
it seems to be helpful only in certain, fairly unusual cases.

Orthoptists are engaged in a squint, infringements of binocular sight,
amblyopia. I write about infringements of a refraction

 

Visual acuity increases on the average from 20/40-20/30 up to
20/25-20/20 for 10 days. These are usual results in our clinic.

 

Ok bad english I can deal with. This is unintelligble. Not
understandable. Not readable.

Get a translator, PLEASE!

That's understandable, and sounds suspiciously like a Russian version of
Otis.

I thought that I shall meet colleagues at this forum. And here
unintelligible disputes. It is a pity to me that I was mistaken.

 

I think you are talking about what we used to call "accommodative rock",
an obsolete idea that has probably not been used by anyone in the US for
30 years. So you're probably right, there won't be any colleagues of
yours here. Maybe Otis...

Dear Alex,

Subject: Not invented here syndrome.

Keep up the good work. The problem is not
the your effort to "clear" vision -- which I strongly
support.

It is the classically closed mind you will encounter
on sci.med.vison by SOME "majority opinion" ODs.

Just remember, concepts are changining and there
are optometrists who support these various
preventive methods that clear vision from
20/50 to 20/20 by these "accommodative rock"
tehniques. See:

www.chinamyopia.org

for further support for your methods.

Best,

Otis

 

Please, if you could point us toward something published in a journal,
preferably peer-reviewed.

he is saying that he can't understand your english. That's all.

mt, od ...:
treatment with lenses outside the eye (eyeglasses, contacts) or
intraocular lenses?
which ones are you referring to as not effective?
