A theoretical mechanism for ocular emmetropization

2025-06-03

Abstract excerpt

Currently, the human myopia epidemic is estimated to affect nearly 3 billion persons, yet experimental refractive error research is still hampered by the lack of a plausible theoretical mechanism explaining how the eye detects defocus and grows to minimise error (emmetropization). Applied lens defocus, either positive or negative, to animals including human, induces rapid changes in both refraction and axial lengt...
