    Wave Myopia fact


    Why myopia occurs?
    Myopia occurs because the eyeball is longer than normal. This causes the image to focus in front of the retina rather that on it. People with myopia see close objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred. Myopia is Myopia is usually a hereditary condition that is detected during childhood and continues to worsen until it finally stabilizes, usually in adulthood.

    A General observation:
    Myopic children tend to be more studious than non myopic classmates, and children who play more sport are less likely to be near sighted and require glasses. But what is cause and what is effect is debatable.

    Not whollly correct.

    Myopia is a *mismatch* between the radius of the cornea, (or, to a lesser extent, the refractive power of the lens) and the focal length (axial length) of the eye.

    Bart Smith, continuing to be awesome since 1982 so that you don't have to.

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!

    Perhaps they are posting this because of the question that is posted during registration about myopia?

    Purpose of Myopia > To creat better opportunity for the Visionaries to earn . Cause is the existance of defective Visual Sensonry mechanisam connected to accuracy seeking CPUs with fat wallets. By satisfying the defect, the user considers himself to be more productive there by Nurishing a food chain consisting Eye Examines, Frame rellers, Lens sellers, Glazer, Grinder, Softwearmen, Delivary Runners, Forum owners, and their invisible up n down the line.Queues. Had it not been in existance, there would have been more recession, more unemployment, more feudes. More unrest, more wars. So, its a peace keeper. Enjoy being in the food chain of Myopia !

    You are assuming an awful lot!

    We didn't think we'd fool so many people, but the "model" is actually one of the male attendees of the UnExpo, that we found passed out in the elevator. We wanted to showcase some of our make-up techniques that many of the FezzJohns models use.

    (We won't divulge the name of the attendee, as we don't want to upset the guy from the beach in NC.:bbg:)
