Compensation for axial elongation during multifocal soft contact lens wear: Results from the BLINK study

Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 103, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To determine the effect of +2.50 D add multifocal soft contact lenses (MFSCLs) compared to +1.50 D add and single vision contact lenses (SVCLs) on the relationship between axial elongation and myopia progression. Methods Individual estimates of D/mm were derived from the CLEERE Study, then applied to data from 289 participants in the ...

Driving Innovation: The Impact of National Health Policies on Optometry Research in East Asia

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 37-46, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the optometric research landscape in three East Asian countries—China, Japan, and Korea—analysing how research trends align with each country's national health strategies. By evaluating published articles and reviews from national journals between 2006 March 2025, we identify key areas of focus, including paediatric ...

Compensated versus uncompensated millimeters during myopia progression: Estimating H′ in children

Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 103, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose The second principal point (H′) of the eye can be used to estimate the diopters of change in refractive error that result from each millimeter of axial elongation. Calculating the location of H′ requires data from phakometry, a technique not included in most myopia control clinical trials.

Eye shape and retinal shape, and their relation to peripheral refraction [PDF]

, 2012
Purpose: We provide an account of the relationships between eye shape, retinal shape and peripheral refraction. Recent findings: We discuss how eye and retinal shapes may be described as conicoids, and we describe an axis and section reference system for

Retinal Peripheral Defocus and Peripheral Refractive Measurement Techniques: A Review

Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The theory of retinal peripheral defocus currently represents the prevailing paradigm for myopia prevention and control. Research studies on peripheral refraction indicate that peripheral defocus is significantly associated with the management and progression of myopia.
