Background: Myopia is a global public health problem affecting quality of life and work
productivity. Data is scarce regarding the effects of near work on myopia. Providing a larger …

Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from their inception through
September 2013 for population-based surveys reporting the prevalence of myopia in adults …

The role of accommodation in myopia development and progression has been debated for
decades. More recently, the understanding of the mechanisms involved in accommodation …

Purpose: To evaluate the risk factors of dry eye disease in school children associated with
video display terminal use. Methods: Two-hundred eighty-eight children were classified in …

We assessed the extent to which different accommodative functions are correlated and
whether accommodative functions predict the refractive error or the progression of myopia …

The myopic eye is generally considered to be a vulnerable eye and, at levels greater than 6
D, one that is especially susceptible to a range of ocular pathologies. There is concern …

Prolonged nearwork has long been associated with myopia development, however, there is
no well described linking mechanism. One theory suggests that if accommodation accuracy …

This review has identified evidence about pseudomyopia as the result of an increase in
ocular refractive power due to an overstimulation of the eye's accommodative mechanism. It …

Purpose: To assess the effect of bifocal soft contact lenses on the accommodative errors
(lags) of young adults. Recent studies suggest that bifocal soft contact lenses are an …

We undertook a detailed analysis of the wavefront aberrations of the eyes of 20 young
progressing myopes (mean age= 22years; mean spherical equivalent=− 3.84 D, range …
