Abstract

Presentation Description : There are differences in the emmetropization process between emmetropes and myopes. There are also a number of remaining unknows on how and why myopia develops in certain individuals but not in others, and why myopia progresses more in some individuals. Knowledge on the mechanisms of myopia is essential to develop new myopia control treatments. This talk will provide an update of the current knowledge and remaining unknowns on the mechanisms of myopia development and progression.

This abstract was presented at the 2023 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in New Orleans, LA, April 23-27, 2023.
