New treatments for myopia

In this piece from today's Guardian.

It covers Ortho K lenses (hunker and someone else have those), a new and safer Lasik thing (Intralasik) and lenses that could stop myopia developing in the first place.

Wow.

Thanks for link Janh

Interesting that Prof O'Leary rubbishes the Ortho K lenses - 'There has not yet been a large study on the long-term safety of the lenses' but then plugs study of his own lenses and asks for guinea pigs. No conflict of interest there I think!?

Ohhhh, really, js? I didn't read it carefully. Yes, agree, very interesting!

Oooh, these medical experts and their hobby-horses

Sounds like the whole thing was written to give Prof O a chance to appeal for guinea pigs!
