Myopia and orthokeratology for myopia control
Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 2019The prevalence of myopia in children is increasing worldwide and is viewed as a major public health concern. This increase has driven interest in research into myopia prevention and control in children. Although there is still uncertainty in the risk factors underlying differences in myopia prevalence between ethnic groups, rates in children of East ...

Epidemiology of Myopia, High Myopia, and Pathological Myopia
2021Myopia is a major health problem throughout the world due to its increasingly high prevalence in the past few decades. Myopia, in particular high myopia, is associated with a number of ocular complications such as glaucoma and cataract that are potentially blinding.

Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 1939 The status of myopia in ophthalmic practice is still uncertain and debatable. No unanimity of opinion exists as to its nature and treatment. In this article I have attempted to review and coordinate the opinions of various writers on the subject and to include some ideas on the problem as seen from my own experience.

Ophthalmologica, 1952
Night myopia for the left and right eye separately is studied with the aid of settings of a telescope using various test objects, brightnesses, pupil sizes, directions of fixation. Measurements of the visual acuity as a function of the ocular setting under variation of the parameters mentioned are included.

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2016
Myopia is progressing at faster than predicted rates for reasons that are still unknown. The public health consequences worldwide, are also becoming a burden on healthcare costs. There have been numerous studies published attempting to determine the cause of myopia progression and methods of prevention.The review examines recent articles that have ...

Experimental Eye Research, 2006
Myopia is a very common ocular problem, affecting perhaps one billion people worldwide. Most myopia is produced by lengthening of the vitreous chamber of the ocular globe. High myopia is characterized by scleral thinning and localized ectasia of the posterior sclera.

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 2005
AbstractIt has been suggested that high levels of axial aberration or specific patterns of peripheral refraction could play a role in myopia development. Possible mechanisms involving high levels of retinal image blur caused by axial aberrations include form deprivation through poor retinal image quality in distance vision, enhanced accommodative lags ...

FOR many years myopia has been an enigma to the ophthalmologist and a source of worry to the parents of nearsighted children. In many cases the progressive nature of the disorder, in spite of correcting glasses, has given rise to a sense of hopelessness and a consequent turning to various quack methods of treatment. Myopia was recognized centuries ago.
