Myopia represents a growing public health issue, affecting 33% of adults in the United States1 and markedly higher proportions in Asia.2–4[1] Increasing myopia is associated with increased risk of retinal detachment,5 glaucoma,6 cataract,7 and myopic retinopathy.8 Higher levels of myopia are also associated with increased disability9,10[2] and poorer refractive surgery outcomes.11

In the past decade, there has been increased research activity aimed at slowing the progression of myopia by optical methods, including overnight corneal reshaping contact lenses (orthokeratology)12–14[3] and soft contact lenses incorporating multifocal or aspheric optics,15–24[4] and these have shown promise to slow myopia progression.

Studies of the mechanisms that regulate refractive development in nonhuman primates show that hyperopic defocus can...
