“…Retinal imagery impaired by lid suture, translucent occluders, and corneal opacification usually produces axial myopia, although results are variable from one study to another [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. Similarly, in humans a severe degradation of retinal imagery due to conditions such as lid hemangiomas, ptosis, neonatal eyelid closure, retrolental fibroplasia associated with retinopathy of prematurity, vitreous hemorrhage, and other ocular anomalies often results in high myopia [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. Hoyt et al [56] noted that the myopia in infants with neonatal lid closure was axial.…”

The very common ocular clinical ocular condition in children juvenile onset myopia results from axial elongation of the eye. In humans, some studies have found an association of myopia with greater levels of nearpoint activity and with differences in accommodation and convergence function. This paper reviews a variety of laboratory and clinical studies which are consistent with the hypothesis that retinal image defocus is biochemically transformed into an axial elongation expressed through increased posterior segment growth, and thus myopia. This paper also reviews theories of emmetropization, and classifies them as correlational, feedback, and combination. Evidence is presented to suggest that a combination theory, which combines both correlation of the ocular dioptric components and some feedback mechanism for growth of the eye, is the most correct. Current laboratory research suggests that quality and/or focus (defocus) of retinal imagery is involved in this feedback mechanism and that experimentally induced myopia might be enhanced, reduced or eliminated by pharmaceutical application. Direction of defocus may affect the rate of posterior segment growth, and thus the rate of ocular axial elongation.

“…Other studies have demonstrated that media opacities can lead to unilateral high myopia. 16,17 Human corneal tissue is viscoelastic, and CH measured by ORA is a biomechanical property of that viscoelasticity. Previous studies demonstrated that CH is altered in patients with keratoconus, laser in situ keratomileusis, and glaucoma.…”

“…There is some evidence, though, that supports the notion that retinal image quality can influence eye length in humans. A variety of different ocular conditions that lead to a disruption in form vision, such as ptosis, 23,24 congenital cataract, 25,26 corneal opacity, 27,28 vitreous hemorrhage, 29 and other ocular diseases, 30 have been found to be associated with abnormal eye growth in young humans, which suggests that relatively large alterations in retinal image quality may influence eye growth in human subjects. However, the influence of more subtle retinal image changes on eye growth in humans remains to be determined.…”
