I was told by my optometrist that I needed multifocal lenses because my eyesight is getting worse, she said that it would slow down the process of my number getting worse, but I don’t even need reading glasses cuz I can see find up close. (I’m only 19 aswell)
Thank you for bringing that up! We talk about progressives/bifocals as a solution for presbyopia, but that is not the only time that people need them. It is something that can happen to strong hyperopes (optician speak for people who have hyperopia). It is not the most uncommon thing for kids/toddlers who have strong plus prescriptions to need a bifocal as well. Whatever is best for your eyes is what you should do!
ad continuous sole practice in Frankston for over 25 years. He is actively campaigning on behalf of children who, through no fault of their own, are condemned to a life of reading difficulties and early departure from the education system. Maurice has been punished for raising concerns about current standards of optometrical practice and the need to better incorporate findings of research into current modes of practice. In a paper entitled `Optometry: light of a perverted science', he initiated a discussion on the issue of spectacles being a harmful drug when not prescribed properly. He canvassed a number of matters relating to prolonged and intensive near-seeing, which he believes is not good for our eyes and our health. He firmly stated that the public has a right to know how glasses may adversely affect good health. Maurice made the point that he did not think this would happen while the optometry profession put the public interest in second place to its own self-interests. For his efforts, Maurice Brumer was expelled from the Victorian division of the Australian Optometrical Association, a first in history. He dared challenge the cabal that rules optometry in Victoria when he spoke out at a 1992 annual meeting of the Victoria AOA and the national AOA.
