Instrumentation recreates properties of the myopic eye to test lenses that prevent visual decline

Researchers measure and compare the light focusing characteristics of different lenses used to slow myopia (nearsightedness) progression, which could prevent visual decline.

Researchers have developed new instruments for rigorously quantifying and comparing the light-focusing properties of specialized eyeglass lenses that are used to slow the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness.

Nearsightedness is on the rise around the globe, especially among children. If current trends continue, half of the world’s population will be nearsighted by 2050, according to a report from the Brien Holden Vision Institute in Australia. Although the drivers of this worrisome trend aren’t entirely clear, specialized eyeglass lenses have been shown to keep myopia from getting worse. This is particularly important for children and teens who often experience progression in the condition as their bodies grow.
