Dear,
I felt sorrow for your little boy suffering such kind of myopic degeneration and live with a life of physical activities hindrance.

I guessed your son had use the glasses very often for reading in the past years.

Because the distance between you and me, I can only say you must think about relaxation of your kid's eyes in reading and writting.

I strongly recommended you to visit the site www.geocities.com/dolphinhill/theorynotes.htm for details in near point stress relaxation with the use of plus lens.
Please remember, the stronger minus glasses you used for reading, the myopia deterioates more faster!

Dear Mr. Leung,


Uncertain whether this is the right

address to ask for advice, we,

my wife and I, have to try

everything we can.

We have found your reference on the

internet <www.myopia.org>,

where we have also found your e-mail

address.

We are from Ljubljana, Slovenia

(former Yugoslavia), Central Europe.

Our son Mark has got high myopia

(Dg.: Myopia alta omlinte.).

Otherwise his eyes are healty (no

astigmatism).

He is 9 years old, turning 10 at the

end of September.

We are worried because his condition

is getting worse.

In the last two years myopia has

made progress from

about -3 to about -8
(Right eye: sph -8.25  cyl -0.25x78

reflex 143.16 vertex 13.50,

 Left  eye: sph -7.75  cyl -1.00x72

reflex 252.39 vertex 13.50).

Our doctor says that his condition

will continue to deteriorate

until he is about 18 years old.

Owing to retina resignation danger

he has advised very limited physical

activities. He is also against

the use of contact lenses and has

prescribed bilberry tablets.

The doctor says that apart from

changing lenses in his glasses

a few times a year there is nothing

anyone can do about it.

We can only wait.

Naturally, we wonder if there is

really nothing what we can do.

Because if this is so, Mark will

become practically blind in

the next few years.

Could you please suggest what we can

do to control myopia?

Is it really necessary to restrict

physical activity?

What is your opinion about using

contact lenses (RGP)?

Can Mark use the Myopter Viewer

(U.S. Patent 3,883,225)?

Thank you for your time. And thank

you so much for your professional
advice.

Yours faithfully,

Katalin and Davor Munda
