Extraordinary, Nov 22 2005
By Paul Bridges - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Myopia Manual - An Impartial Documentation of All the Reasons, Therapies and Recommendations (Paperback)
I've never seen such a comprehensive resource on myopia that is directed at the consumer. It covers the "what is myopia" in great detail (down to details of saccadic motion, convergence, monochromatic aberration, etc.), then an exhastive analysis of the various theories of causation (genetics, close-work, nutrition, visual habits, brain function, oxidative damage, auto-immunity, personality/psychology, neurotransmitters, melatonin, cortisol and other hormones, and more). There are over a thousand end-note references that back up the information.In regard to treatment, we get the same careful, exhaustive analysis. Everything from biofeedback devices, plus lens therapy, vision therapy, etc., and the degree of success each appears to offer.

Myopia Manual, Jan 18 2005
By Reza Moradi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Myopia Manual - An Impartial Documentation of All the Reasons, Therapies and Recommendations (Paperback)
Dr. Schmid has done a really good job collecting all the information available concerning myopia and adding his own opinion to it.I have read many books about myopia but this is without any doubt the most complete,accurate and most up to date myopia book that is currently available. The knowledege that Dr.Schmid,as a physicist, has about myopia amazed me. This is truly a myopia "bible" and i recommend it to anyone interested in increasing his/her own knowledge about this "epidemic" problem.
