Incompetence of Mr Mason - who is not a doctor but calls himself "dr grant"

| I did make a boo-boo there. Nice to see you are paying attention.
Actually, Grant Mason is wrong - so at least he's consistent.
He say's below that H-Lasik makes you short sighted. That is not
true.
H'Lasik strives to make farsighted eyes "plano" without refractive
error.
Lasik strives to make nearsighted eyes "plano" without refractive
error.
Monovision involves using either H-Lasik or Lasik so that one eye is
nearsighted and the other farsighted to compensate for the loss of
acoomodation in old eyes (presbyopia) and avoid reading glasses.
By the way.. H-Lasik is not normally performed on younger hyperopic
patients because the natural lens accomodates for the error. The
natural lens can accomodate up to 20 diopters in the teen years. That
accomodation steadily drops down to about 1 diopter as one approaches
60 years old. At that time, the accomodation is stable, but keeps
declining over time slowwwwly.
The lesson for Mr. Mason here is that when correcting someone else,
make sure your correction is correct. By consciously focusing on my
slipup, you showed your complete incompetence.

.......I just noticed something. Since Mr. Mason is lying about being
a doctor, one would think he would call himself Dr Mason instead of
Dr. Grant. I think he's trying to mislead people into thinking that
he is Dr. G, whose a master of spreading misinformation. Mason is a
liability to the quacks everywhere and doesn't fool anyone.

| Ho hum cliff, is there a point to your rant?
-lasik creates myopia, or negative power. It will make hyperopes plano,
or myopic if moved too far. It will make a plano eye myopic, thus
attempt to correct for reading. There was nothing incorrect in what I
said.
What would you like to try next cliff, you haven't landed a punch yet.

| That's H-lasik creates myopia.

| You are incredible. Below, you make a pitiful attempt to escape your
incompetence, and in doing so, you just dug yourself in deeper.
Below you say lasik creates myopia. Wrong, Lasik's purpose is to
ELIMINATE nearsightedness. Lasik is performed on people with myopic
eyes.
Furthermore, neither Lasik nor Hyperopic lasik create nor eliminate
myopia or hyperopia. A myopic eye is always going to be myopic, and a
hyperopic eye is always going to be hyperopic. Lasik and Hyperopic
lasik modify the cornea so those eyes can hopefully see 20/20 or
better by compensating for the refractive error in the eyes.
Your incompetence is astonishing.

| You managed to catch one of your own errors, and in doing so, made a
fool of yourself again.
H-Lasik does not create myopia nor does it create hyperopia. It
reduces the refractive error in the cornea. A hyperopic eye is
shallow and the focal point of the light entering the eye is in back
of the retina. A myopic eye is elongated and the focal point of the
light entering the eye is in front of the retina. Lasik and H-Lasik
modify the cornea so that the light focuses ON the retina.
Once again, you are incredibly incompetent.

| The H-LASIK I had made my right eye shortsighted. Sigh. You just
can't get your facts straight, can you, Christopher?
Please make sure that you are correct when you are correcting
someone...blah blah blah.

| Nobody was talking about your H-Lasik. And Mr. Mason said that lasik
made the eye myopic, not shortsighted/nearsighted. A myopic eye will
always be myopic.
Unless your surgeon was sadistic, he didn't intend to make you
shortsighted. I believe that was surgery #3 on you. Had you not
pressured the man to do a premature enhancement at 2 months instead of
the minimum of 3 months, you probably wouldn't have had any problems
at all. Now you can just live with the consequences of your own
actions. But then again, your surgeon was a fool. I know my surgeon
would never treat you. He discusses things with all his patients
before the day of surgery and he does not take on mentally unstable
patients. I have personally seem him tell a crazy woman that he would
not do surgery on her. LVI would consider her to be a "good
candidate".

| Actually, XXX-clown, I missed the key. As you can see by the post
followed immediately after, it was corrected. You continue ranting
about nothing for no reason.
The only point of your tirade is to put the focus off your lack of
knowledge about the process.
Love, sweety,

| So I shoud=ld have said short sighted or near sighted, hey???
What do they mean? I mean what is the scientific term for these????
Oh, that's right, myopic!!!
I should have said myopic.
Gee sorry Bliff, what a silly bunt you are.

| You got it wrong AGAIN!!!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Let me educate you since you obviously are ignorant of the
fundamentals of optometry:
Refractive error is measured in diopters (D) if one has a refractive
error of +D then they are said to be farsighted. Hyperopic eyes tend
to be farsighted.
If one has a negative refractive error of -D then they are said to be
nearsighted (or sometimes shortsighted). Myopic eyes tend to be
nearsighted.
A refractive error of 0 is called PLANO.
A hyperopic eye will always be hyperopic, a myopic eye will always be
myopic. If over corrected with lasik, a myopic eye can be made
farsighted, but the idea is to make the eye have a refractive error of
0. If over corrected with h-lasik, a hyperopic eye can be made
nearsighted but the idea is to modify the cornea so that the
refractive error is 0.
As much as I don't care for Dr. Minarik, even he must be shaking his
head in astonishment at how incompetent you are Mr. Mason.

| Oh, such a sad, pathetic little thing you are cliff.
If you were worth the effort, I might have taught you something about,
optics, physics and maths, but it would not be worth teaching you
anything as you are too stupid to learn. So will leave you in your
ignorance and continue to laugh at yur posts as I do each morning.]

| Well... I had all the physics and calculus courses that my university
offered in acquiring my degree in engineering. I actually took about
twice as much physics and calculus as was required for my degree. I
also represented my high school as their top math student in the
yearly countywide math competition 3 out of 4 years of high school.
You should just give it up Grant, you are hopelessly outclassed. You
have made such a fool of yourself that not even the most loathsome
malcontent would tarnish themselves by associated with you.
