Based on their wearing patterns, subjects were divided into four categories: (1) full-time wearers (2) myopes who switched from distance to full-time wear (3) distance wearers and (4) nonwearers. Information regarding the subjects' prescription lens-wearing history was obtained from the subjects and their eye care providers. Refractions were obtained in the laboratory by noncycloplegic retinoscopy performed by one experienced optometrist at regular intervals. Data from 43 myopes from our longitudinal study of refraction were evaluated, with myopia defined as a spherical equivalent of at least -0.50 D. The present study seeks to evaluate the progression of juvenile-onset myopia in children differentiated by their lens wear patterns. Based on these results, it has been suggested that, however useful, spectacle intervention for the optical correction of human myopia would lead to its exacerbation. The strongest evidence comes from compensatory ocular growth in response to lens-induced defocus in different species of animals. In addition, her practice has some of the latest high-tech equipment and an expertly trained staff, who can help patients understand their eye health and guide them with the best vision correction options and treatments for their needs.The literature on myopigenesis suggests an active emmetropization mechanism regulated by optical defocus. She is board certified to diagnose, treat and manage diseases and disorders of the eye with the use of therapeutic and pharmacological agents.
