Hello,
Nice to hear from you again.
Of course I highly recommend you to have the base_in prism reading glasses to relieve the stress from convergence.
Just have a trial, I'm sure your daughter will appreciate the amazing relaxation effectiveness of the kind of glasses.

Thanks for your effort.
I hope more parents can band together to spell out the idea of prevention in order to overwhelming the traditional view on minus glasses for myope. Take care.

Dear Steve,
Thanks, thanks, and thanks again for all your precious advises you gave me one year ago.
It's now 1 year and my 8 years old daughter is using +3.50 glasses for all her close work at home, and +3.00 glasses for all her work at school. She doesn't use the +1 for the pc for the moment, but the time spent at school on it is yet very little and at home she doesn't use any pc for now). I test periodically her vision with a Snellen chart, that for now remains stable at 20/15.

I was mumbling if would be useful to put in the plus glasses also a base in prim correction to reduce convergence of the eyes. Do you think prisms could be useful?

I'm doing any effort to inform colleague and other parents about the plus prevention.

Best regards

Dear Paolo Michela,

Your daughter is of great fortune to have a parent like you willing to protect her vision before deterioration！

I prefer prevention (before onset of myopia) instead of cure (already negative focal state). And cure is very very difficult almost impossible！

Here is a brief recommendation of the strategy for your reference.

1. +1.00 for VDU at 75 to 95cm from screen.

2. +2.50 for reading at 30 to 40 cm from book.

3. +3.50 for writing at 25 to 30 cm.

Please note the above figures of plus are approximation. You have to figure them out the best suitable power for her. And all young children tend to rest on surface of desk for their writing. You have to stop that otherwise the effectiveness of plus will be negated.

Don't miss the pictures and graphics at www.myopiafree.com as well as www.geocities.com.soonicansee for details.

Because the living environment at here, my kids also put on the +1.00 during TV watching.

Infact, very few of my motherland vision experts also advocate protection/prevention of vision. The key is to grasp as early as possible, as young as possible and insist the use of plus during the course of school years till maturity (age 18~20).

I suggest you to visit www.i-see.org and be a member to join the discussion group.

best regards,

Dear Steve,
Thank for your reply. I read De Angelis' book ad before it Donald Rehm's, Otis Brown's, Brian Severson's, Frederick Deakins and prof. Francis Young books about defocus (fogging) tecnique.

Dr. De Luca (the first ophtalmologist I ever met in Italy who belevies in vision training) has already visited my daughter; he found her ok and preferred not to prescribe any plus lens for the moment (in his opinion these lenses have to be used only when the first myopia appears).

Anyway, I'm still a bit concerned and was wondering if would be better to start from now with the use of plus lenses, also because I read on your site that you're adopting this strategy with your children let them using plus lenses of different power for all their close tasks. Please, give me an advice from your professional point of view.

Best regards
Paolo Michela
