The role of astigmatism in myopia development, myopia progression and myopia control
Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 45, Issue 7, Page 1946-1964, November 2025.Abstract Aims/Purpose Myopia arises primarily due to excessive axial elongation and is associated with an increased risk of ocular complications and visual impairment, particularly in high myopia. Although astigmatism may have implications on refractive development, the role of astigmatism in myopic eye growth and the effectiveness of myopia control ...
