Myopia progression1
  • MiSight 1 day addresses myopia progression by correcting axial myopia and its uncorrected contribution to the elongation of the eye. (reviewofmm.com)
Refractive error2
  • In normal eye growth referred to as emmetropization, the cornea and crystalline lens has the correct curvature and thickness to produce the correct refractive power to focus light on the retina of an eye of normal axial length without accommodation-any mismatch results in refractive error. (reviewofmm.com)
  • The ultimate goal of myopia control is halting axial elongation with a secondary effect of slowing refractive error. (reviewofoptometry.com)
Retina1
  • The MiSight lens has two treatment zones, creating a peripheral myopic defocus that causes the image to focus in front of the retina and slow axial elongation. (reviewofoptometry.com)
Lens2
  • Describe a new FDA approved 1 day contact lens for the early intervention and management of axial myopia. (reviewofmm.com)
  • The report examines how the major ocular components- namely axial length, corneal power and crystalline lens power-change to produce emmetropia and whether that process operates more by an active or passive process. (reviewofmm.com)
Defocus2
  • The introduction of myopic defocus in the myopic children for a short time resulted in a significant thickening of choroid thickness and shortening of axial length, but the changes restored after removal of defocus. (bmj.com)
  • 4 This defocus stimulates the growth or elongation of the eye. (reviewofoptometry.com)
Length3
  • Wearing spectacle lenses with aspherical lenslets for 2 years can inhibit the thinning of the choroid and slow down axial length elongation with a dose-dependent effect. (bmj.com)
  • As axial length increases, the risk for myopic macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal detachment and cataract increase. (reviewofoptometry.com)
  • Axial elongation has the greatest occurrence the year before the onset of myopia, and once myopia is present, axial length growth continues for an average of five years. (reviewofoptometry.com)
Growth1
  • Support for an active mechanism would come from evidence that emmetropization through modulation of axial growth is an active mechanism, whereas a passive mechanism would be emmetropization occurring primarily through modulation of corneal and lenticular power. (reviewofmm.com)
Myopia3
  • The opposite of myopia in English is hyperopia, or far-sightedness. (wikipedia.org)
  • There are several ways of inducing myopia experimentally: form deprivation (eyelid suturing or placing opaque lenses in the anterior eye causing axial elongation and myopia), lens-induced optical defocus (exposure to optical defocus via plus- or minus-powered lenses leading to compensatory changes in AL and refraction) and restricted visual environment conditions. (medscape.com)
  • [ 138 ] Failure of emmetropization could arise from irregular expression of genes in the retina, retinal pigment epithelium, lens, choroid and/or sclera, resulting in axial elongation and myopia. (medscape.com)
