message: I havent found out from the article how long the correction effects last. If my sight got better by wearing them, then it is permanent? How long do i have to wear them to correct x dioptries?

replies: text: Orthokeratology isn't curative. The idea of the overnight lenses is that you can go about your business the next day without the need for spectacles or contacts. The corneal changes are not permanent; the cornea will revert to its original shape following a decay curve, which will differ according to health, age and other factors. The corrective effect can last anything from a few hours to a couple of days. Continued use of the lenses will take advantage of the decay curve, improving the benefit up to a personal maximum.

thread_title:  Long lasting effect? 

message: Lens prices range from $800 to $1500. How does that make economical sense when corrective surgery costs $1500 here in Canada.
*"Economical sense" is not the only factor to consider when evaluating the various options for treating or managing refractive errors. -AED 14:59, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: corrective surgery carries several risks (including potentially untreatable blindness, or other significant vision defects (halo, glare, contrast problems, etc), monovision, dry eye, over/under treatment -- you might still require additional correction after surgery) that not all patients are prepared to accept. And surgery is, of course, "permanent". By contrast orthok is considered largely reversible (simply desist wearing the lens and the eye will gradually return to its original shape. This makes it an attractive alternative to some patients. Additionally, not all patients are suitable candidates for corrective surgery for various reasons.
Prices may vary by the amount of care provided and the sophistication of the provider's equipment, experience and abilities. Nonsurgical vision correction like orthokeratology is completely reversible unlike LASIK. Wikiod 17:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: As a note, I tried these lenses and they did work well. However, my optometrist found that they were actually tearing a thin layer of skin off my eyes as I removed them in the AM. I know of 1 other person who experienced this problem. Although I was able to see during the day without glasses or contacts, I discontinued use due to the discomfort.

message: ...sinking over 80 vessels of all sizes in three tours of the Sea of Marmara.
: This can't be, since an E-class submarine carries only 18 torpedoes and E11 most certainly didn't risk surface battles with her guns in Turkey's backyard or placed naval mines there. Also the article lacks any references. - Alureiter 16:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 27 steamers + 58 smaller vessels + 1 antiquated battleship = 86 which by my calculations is "over 80".  Figures from Dictionary of the First World War (Pope & Wheal).  That said, Moorehead's Gallipoli says "Naismith's bag alone was 101".  He also says total Turkish losses from the submarine campaign was 211 of which 148 (70%) were "sailing boats", on which I doubt you would waste a torpedo.  Naismith's sinking of the Nagara was done on the surface, and that was a transport.  Also, to be "driven away from the shore by some Turkish cavalry" suggests he was on the surface there too.  58.163.138.241 10:30, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I did explain the tags to you. The article was written by the Meeting itself, so WP:COI. It talked about 'our' (can't remember what came after that) which is clearly inappropriate. It was also a copyright violation and deleting copyvio is something we always do. It didn't follow our manual of style guidelines at all. The article itself was not deleted. I have suggested you help write a good article and asked at two Wikiprojects for help. The anti-slavery thing sounds interesting but got only a trivial mention. I also think there was far too much detail. The 'thoughts' at the end was totally inappropriate. It had no reliable third party sources. I could go on but it wouldn't really be constructive. Read up on our guidelines and policies and gradually help build a new article which follows them. Dougweller (talk) 22:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

text: SoaringBird, do take a look at the two references I added. Those are called WP:RS sources, from well known publishers and confirm that the Yearly Meeting is WP:Notable. Please read  WP:RS, then use that type of book. This page will no get deleted now, but to build it up you need to use books like The Quakers in America published by Columbia University Press which are WP:RS.
