FRIDAY SCIENCE TIME: What is the retinal 'sweet spot' for myopia treatments? This study investigated which retinal areas inhibit growth signals when defocus is presented to the eye. Infrared eye tracker software used viewing fixation data to assess the response to defocus in central and near-peripheral areas. The peri-foveal retina at 6 to 10 degrees eccentricity was most responsive to imposed defocus, which may control axial length growth and long-term refractive development. https://lnkd.in/gD49SK6e #myopia #myopiacontrol #myopiamanagement #professionallearning

FRIDAY SCIENCE TIME: Spectacles with highly aspherical lenslets for pre-myopia This randomized controlled trial explores early intervention and prevention of myopia by investigating the use of highly aspherical lenslet (HAL) spectacle lenses in pre-myopic children over a 1 year period. The first study to investigate optical treatment for pre-myopia, the findings indicate efficacy with at least 30 hours per week of wearing time. https://lnkd.in/dbrWrzmU #myopia #myopiacontrol #myopiamanagement #professionallearning

More mail! We've just delivered our newest edition of Myopia Profile Digest to your inboxes! This edition is all about the concept "hyperopic reserve" - learn what it is, variations by ethnicity, as well as risk factors and management strategies for pre-myopia. Let's get started with What is the 'hyperopic reserve' in pre-myopia? Prevention or delay of myopia onset can have a potentially greater impact on an individual’s final level of myopia, compared to short-term myopia control treatment outcomes. This article explores the concept of a ‘hyperopic reserve’, which is protective against myopia development, with new data indicating ethnicity could influence the amount of reserve required. https://lnkd.in/gYZemm6A PS.
