I think one thing that some people might be unaware of is that the
docs here are clinicians, not vision researchers. They base their
practices on existing studies done by vision researchers. You might
approach the latter to do Bates studies. Most clinicians have an
entirely different orientation. They want to help their patients, but
using methods they are absolutely certain of.

Cheers,
Francine
