Improvements on Littmann's method of determining the size of retinal features by fundus photography.

TL;DR: Three new methods of determining Littmann's factor q become available: simply reducing the axial length by a constant 1 · 82 mm; constructing a personalized schematic eye, given additional data; and ray tracing through this eye to extend calculations to peripheral retinal areas.

Correction: Corrigendum: Corneal Power, Anterior Segment Length and Lens Power in 14-year-old Chinese Children: the Anyang Childhood Eye Study

TL;DR: There were errors in Affiliation 1 which was incorrectly listed as ‘Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China’.

A longitudinal investigation of adult-onset and adult-progression of myopia in an occupational group. Refractive and biometric findings.

TL;DR: The structural cause of adult-onset and adult-progression of myopia is vitreous chamber elongation, which is found to be associated with adult onset myopia and emmetropic eyes that remained refractively stable.

Optical and structural development of the crystalline lens in childhood

TL;DR: Changes in the patterns of lens development near the age of 10 years, concurrent with the onset of myopia, suggest that forces arise which interfere with equatorial growth and diminish the decreases in lens power and amplify axial elongation to promote myopia.
