The Progression of Nearwork Myopia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this letter is to present a simplified mathematical model of progressive myopia. A proposed hypothesis for refractive error development of the human eye requires that there is an optical signal related to the amount of refractive error which would in turn correct the refractive error of the eye. A specific first-order feedback system, defined by the transfer function F (s) = 1 / (1+ks) [1] was proposed by Medina and Fariza in 1993 [1].

Effects of Various Risk Factors on Myopia Progression
Background: Myopia has different prevalence rate worldwide and there is controversial points about its environmental risk factors. The prevalence of myopia in medical interns atShirazMedicalSchool and its probable risk factors were studied. Method: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, three hundred interns (7th-year medical students) at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences were examine...
متن کاملMyopes show increased susceptibility to nearwork aftereffects.
PURPOSE Some aspects of accommodation may be slightly abnormal (or different) in myopes, compared with accommodation in emmetropes and hyperopes. For example, the initial magnitude of accommodative adaptation in the dark after nearwork is greatest in myopes. However, the critical test is to assess this initial accommodative aftereffect and its subsequent decay in the light under more natural vi...

PURPOSE The purposes of the present study were to assess the effect of a sympathetic inhibitory pharmacologic agent, timolol maleate, on the magnitude of nearwork-induced transient myopia (NITM) and its decay in different refractive groups for an extended near task duration and to determine the proportion of the young adult population manifesting effective sympathetic access under naturalistic ...
متن کاملAccommodation functions: Co-dependency and relationship to refractive error
We assessed the extent to which different accommodative functions are correlated and whether accommodative functions predict the refractive error or the progression of myopia over a 12 month period in 64 young adults (30 myopes and 34 non-myopes). The functions were: amplitude of accommodation; monocular and binocular accommodative facility (6 m and 40 cm); monocular and binocular accommodative...
متن کاملCurrent Methods of Myopia Control a Literature Review & Update
Myopia affects up to one-third of the population in the United States today. It is a leading cause of low vision in Asian countries secondary to the increased risk of retinal detachments and glaucoma. Genetics, as well as environmental factors and nearwork have been hypothesized to play a role in myopia development. Current techniques to control its progression target these etiologies. Methods ...
