TLDR
It is proposed that lens-induced refractive errors are compensated by similar retinal mechanisms as the ones proposed by Bartmann and Schaeffel [(1994].About:

Homeostasis of Eye Growth and the Question of Myopia
Josh Wallman,Jonathan Winawer +1 more
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?
Journal ArticleDOI
The complex interactions of retinal, optical and environmental factors in myopia aetiology
TL;DR: Detailed analysis of epidemiological data linking myopia with a range of ocular pathologies from glaucoma to retinal detachment demonstrates statistically significant disease association in the 0 to -6 D range of 'physiological myopia'.

Role of Near Work in Myopia: Findings in a Sample of Australian School Children
Jenny M. Ip,Seang-Mei Saw,Kathryn A. Rose,Ian G. Morgan,Ian G. Morgan,Annette Kifley,Jie Jin Wang,Jie Jin Wang,Paul Mitchell +8 more
TL;DR: Although myopia was not significantly associated with time spent in near work after adjustment for other factors, there were significant independent associations with close reading distance and continuous reading.

Peripheral vision can influence eye growth and refractive development in infant monkeys.
Earl L. Smith,Chea-Su Kee,Chea-Su Kee,Ramkumar Ramamirtham,Ramkumar Ramamirtham,Ying Qiao-Grider,Ying Qiao-Grider,Li Fang Hung,Li Fang Hung +8 more
TL;DR: On the one hand, the peripheral retina can contribute to emmetropizing responses and to ametropias produced by an abnormal visual experience, and on the other hand, unrestricted central vision is not sufficient to ensure normal refractive development, and the fovea is not essential for emmetroizing responses.

The role of optical defocus in regulating refractive development in infant monkeys.
Earl L. Smith,Li-Fang Hung +1 more
TL;DR: The main finding was that spectacle lenses could predictably alter the growth of one or both eyes resulting in appropriate compensating refractive changes in both the hyperopic and myopic directions.

Journal ArticleDOI
Accommodation, refractive error and eye growth in chickens
TL;DR: It was found that the posterior nodal distance was increased in eyes which were treated with negative lenses compared to those treated with positive lenses, and this effect occurs independently in both eyes and it is not due to changes in corneal curvature.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Moving the Retina: Choroidal Modulation of Refractive State
Josh Wallman,Christine F. Wildsoet,Aiming Xu,Michael D. Gottlieb,Debora L. Nickla,Lynn Marran,Wolf Krebs,Anne Mette Christensen +7 more
TL;DR: Choroidal expansion does not occur when visual cues are reduced by dim illumination during the period of unrestricted vision, and in chick eyes presented with myopic or hyperopic defocus by means of spectacle lenses, the choroid expands or thins, respectively, in compensation for the specific defocus imposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
