Current News in Myopia Research
Goldschmidt E.,
Danish Institute for Myopia Research, Eyeclinic (Hilleroed)
The multiplicity of theories regarding the etiology of myopia has led to numerous and partly contradictory methods of therapy. In Europe the role of genetic factors has been weighted stronger than environment, while in Asia emphasis has been put on environmental factors, particularly close work. Bifocal spectacle lenses reduce the accommodative demand, but studies on the effect of bifocal lenses have shown widely varying results. Progressive lenses may be more promising. There seems to be no simple way of controlling the progression of myopia, but recent data indicate that less demanding academic programs during early schooling reduces the development and progression of myopia.
