Corrective Procedure 06/16/06

Roy Starrin · medicine forum beginner Joined: 30 Sep 2005 Posts: 44

After several consultations, much discussion with y'all, and lots of
prayer, we are going to use Supralase
( www.firstcolonialeyecenter.com/content.htm ) on Friday to correct
the astigmatism induced by a misplaced LRI which was done to OD
during cataract surgery 12/05.
Resultant current OD vision +0.75/-3.00/99
When I feel like getting back at the PC over the weekend, will cut
y'all in on how it went.
Thanks again for your support
Roy

Dear Roy,

Subject: Supralase

I might suggest that you explore the possibility
of using the plus lens to improve your "refractive
state" RATHER THAN subjecting yourself to
further surgery.

The surgery is obviously the cause of your
vision problems.

Odis, congrats, you have now joined my very exculsive kill file list. You are the 3rd to join this exclusive list so far along the likes of Neil Brooks and The Central Scrutinizer. It seems their entire purpose in this group is to bash. Get a life, please.

Can everyone quit responding to idiots like theses, or better yet, add them to your kill file? Their constant spewing of garbage evades my flters because it is included in others responses.

I must apologize for my previous post, It was rude to ask someone be kill-filed. Here is the way I see it:

A . Otis didn't provide any input on this topic.
B. Otis's wanna-be "Odis" made a post, ( only intent to bash Otis )
C. It seems the entire purpose of the "Odis" alias is to poke fun at Otis.

I fully agree that, Otis does seem in the minority with his beleifs on myopia ( among this group ). At least Otis's posts are on topic, and they do contribute a possibly valid solution to for myopia. I haven't seen enough data conclusively disprove his theory. I am living proof that with negative lenses, myopia progressed at the same rate the lens strength was increased.

It really doesn't matter if Otis can prove or disprove his theory. Many people that have experienced step myopia tend to agree his theory *maybe* valid.

This group is for sharing information and ideas, yet it seems like several people are ONLY here to bash Otis.

Then I guess your grasp of both the scientific method AND logic is no
stronger than Otis's, huh?

The questions I ask are direct, logical, rational, coherent, relevant,
substantive, and important.

IF Otis had ANY interest in "science" or "objectivity," well then ...
he'd answer them.

IF you cared about "truth" or "fact," well then ... you'd LOBBY for him
to answer them.

What you call "bashing," I call seeking the truth ... and forcing a
charlatan to show his hand.

Po-tay-to ... Po-tah-to.

AMEN!

wrote about the procedure being used to correct the surgically induced
astimatism in his right eye :
Supralase, surface ablation procedure, used Friday a.m. Doc said it
will take (took) 2X seconds to remove the epitheilum, 9 seconds to
correct the astigmatism.
No pain Friday, slept most of the day with pain meds (Good pain meds).
Doc forceast day 2 (Saturday) would be worst pain day, after that pain
would ease, (he provided a lesser strength pain med for day 3 on out)
but that day 3-5 would see slight worsening of vision.
Pain forcast accurate.
Woke this morning with no pain. Tossed the pain meds (but be advised
I take Celebrex and 3900 mg Tylenol daily for arthritis)
Anyhoo, I can now see better without glasses than I can with glasses
(lens has been removed from OD side of glasses). The earth is flat,
and my "reference circle" is round as opposed to being oval as it has
been since the initial surgery. I find this interresting. Would it
be because OD is my dominant eye and it is dragging OS along?
(OS sphere is +0.75) In any case, surgery was specifically to repair
astigmatism, and not touch the OD sphere (which is also +0.75).
Will see doctor MWF this week. Surgeon or one of his ODs called each
night to see how I was doing.
I have written above with no glasses. Vision is not would I would
want for ultimate vision, but is surely something good to build on.
Initial estimate was first refraction attempt at 3 weeks. (It is my
intent to simply change the OD lens as vision warrants until it is
fully stabilized)

Again, thanks for you support

Dear Jessie,

Some idiot is posting using the name "Odis" -- and that is fradulent.

I certainly have no SUGGESTION OR STATEMENT about this
man's issue -- and have made no post about it.

I suggest PREVENTION of nearsighetedess ON THE THRESHOLD -- as
advocated by prevention-minded ODs. See:

www.chinamyopia.org

Or, my suggestions can be found at:

www.myopiafree.com

And all I truly suggest is that you be informeded of this PREVENTIVE
method -- before you start wearing an over-perscribed minus -- and
develop stair-case myopia from it.

And this is simply a choice I think you should have.

Best,

Otis

Dear Mike,

Subject: stair-case myopia

Mike> You KNOW it because you read it on the internet?

Odis> I resent the implication and the "challenge" to my
objectivity.

As it happens, I KNOW it because I WROTE it
on the internet.

Perhaps I should be asking for an apology at this point.

Best,

Odis
