Your statements are absolutely scientifically false.

1. ALL myopes DO NOT have deterioration of the retina. Some do, some
don't. For that matter, so do hyperopes. Some do, some don't. For that
matter, so do people with no optical correction. Some do, some don't.
And some people are born with a predisposition, and some people are
simply born that way.

2. Lattice degeneration, peripheral holes and tears have nothing to do
with whether a person has worn glasses or not, and hardly to do with
whether or not there is a refractive error. The only FACT we know for
certain is that SOME people with enlongated axial length or who have a
physical growth anomolgy thining the peripheral retina, or those who
have had head trauma are at higher risk for "deterioration". Wearing
glasses has nothing to with it. Hitting your head on the windshield
because some loonatic crashed into you because s/he was Bate-d into
not using optical correction is a definate potential cause.

3. We don't ASSUME anything, We examine, we observe, we report.

4. It is not a fact that a myope wearing glasses is trained into using
a smaller area of the retina. The perihperal retina gets plently of
stimulation----and whatever, it has nothing to do with peripheral
retina anomolies.

SO....

Your statements are absolutely scientifically false. Like most
everything Bates.  But, your a zealot, a fanatic and nothing contrary
to your position means a damn thing to you.
