TLDR
Differences were found between the four refractive groups, with hyperopes accommodating more for near targets than emmetropes, followed by early‐onset myopes then late‐onsett myopes, and a strong correlation between the accommodative response gradient and refractive error was found, suggesting that hyperopes accommodate more to a particular target than do emmetroes or myopes.About:

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'.

A Randomized Clinical Trial of Progressive Addition Lenses versus Single Vision Lenses on the Progression of Myopia in Children
Jane Gwiazda,Leslie Hyman,Mohamed Hussein,Donald F. Everett,Thomas T. Norton,Daniel Kurtz,M. Cristina Leske,Ruth E. Manny,Wendy Marsh-Tootle,M. Scheiman +9 more
TL;DR: Use of progressive addition lenses compared with SVLs slowed the progression of myopia in COMET children by a small, statistically significant amount only during the first year, and provided some support for the COMET rationale, a role for defocus in progression ofMyopia.
Journal Article
Myopic children show insufficient accommodative response to blur.
TL;DR: Myopic children use blur poorly to increase accommodation, as shown by shallow slopes of the accommodative response functions for negative lenses, but with positive lenses, requiring relaxation of accommodation, there is no significant difference in slope.

Accommodation and related risk factors associated with myopia progression and their interaction with treatment in COMET children.
Jane Gwiazda,Leslie Hyman,Thomas T. Norton,Mohamed Hussein,Wendy Marsh-Tootle,Ruth E. Manny,Ying Wang,Donald F. Everett +7 more
TL;DR: The results support the COMET rationale and suggest children with large lags of accommodation and near esophoria often are prescribed PALs or bifocals to improve visual performance and such children, if myopic, may have an additional benefit of slowed progression of myopia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter-individual variability in the dynamics of natural accommodation in humans: relation to age and refractive errors.
TL;DR: Automated infrared photoretinoscopy proved to be very convenient and easy to handle in both children and adults and there was a striking inter‐individual variability in the maximum possible speed of accommodation and near to far accommodation.

TL;DR: There is no major hereditary component involved in development of myopic refractions among the offspring while there is a strong environmental component operating to create the sibling correlations, suggests a study carried out on volunteer Eskimo families at Barrow, Alaska.

Clinical evaluation of the Canon Autoref R-1.
TL;DR: A clinical evaluation of the Canon Autoref R-1 was carried out and the validity of the instrument was found to be similar to that found in other investigations.
