Guide:How to doubt EndMyopia

Revision as of 08:31, 11 June 2020 by Divenal (talk | contribs) (Slight rewording - defocus isn't the only possible stimulus so dial back slightly . Does it seem reasonable ?)

Blind Belief, is accepting certain propositions to be true, without a fully detailed look at the reasons at why the propositions would be true. Sometimes when we want something to be true badly enough, such as the many advertised cures for myopia on the internet, we'll believe it without fully considering the evidence before us. When reading EndMyopia content, we want you to be screaming in your head, "This is probably a scam!" Because it probably is, anyway.

Causality

How does the Bates method address the underlying biology in reversing the axial elongation of the eye, for instance? There are clinical studies that just as hyperopic defocus can increase axial length and therefore myopia, the myopic defocus used by EndMyopia can decrease axial length. The Bates method relies on eye exercises such as palming, swinging and other things which don't appear to provide a known stimulus that reduces the length of the eyeball.
