TLDR
Visual signals from the fovea are not essential for normal refractive development or the vision-induced alterations in ocular growth produced by form deprivation, and the peripheral retina, in isolation, can regulate emmetropizing responses and produce anomalous refractive errors in response to abnormal visual experience.Abstract:
Purpose
Because of the prominence of central vision in primates, it has generally been assumed that signals from the fovea dominate refractive development. To test this assumption, the authors determined whether an intact fovea was essential for either normal emmetropization or the vision-induced myopic errors produced by form deprivation.read more

Corneal reshaping and myopia progression
TL;DR: Results confirm previous reports of slowed eye growth following corneal reshaping contact lens wear, and also confirm that corneals can slow myopia progression in children.

Relative peripheral hyperopic defocus alters central refractive development in infant monkeys.
TL;DR: In intact eyes, lens-induced relative peripheral hyperopia produced central axial myopia and eliminating the fovea by laser photoablation did not prevent compensating myopic changes in response to optically imposed hyperopia.

TL;DR: OK suppressed axial elongation in myopic children, suggesting that this treatment can slow the progression of myopia to a certain extent.

Homeostasis of Eye Growth and the Question of Myopia

TL;DR: If the match between the length and optics of the eye is under homeostatic control, why do children so commonly develop myopia, and why does the myopia not limit itself?

Choroidal and scleral mechanisms of compensation for spectacle lenses in chicks
TL;DR: Both form-deprivation myopia and lens-induced myopia declined with age in parallel, but wearing a -15 D lens produced more myopia than did form deprivation, suggesting that compensation for hyperopia requires the central nervous system.

Local Retinal Regions Control Local Eye Growth and Myopia
TL;DR: The impoverished stimulus situation of reading may lead to myopia, as do other types of visual form deprivation, because most nonfoveal retinal neurons have large receptive fields and cannot resolve the individual letters on the printed page.

Spectacle lenses alter eye growth and the refractive status of young monkeys.
TL;DR: Results indicate that the developing primate visual system can detect the presence of refractive anomalies and alter each eye's growth to eliminate these refractive errors and support the hypothesis that spectacle lenses can alter eye development in young children.
