| One thing I would point out below that isn't obvious is that NVI is
great for strabismus (which involves the muscles of the eyes) but NVI
is not very effective for myopia.
Incidentally.. the muscles that are attached to the eye are the
strongest muscles in the body.
Watch Ace try to spin this post into some pro NVI thread.
