EYE -- Accommodation & refraction
EYE -- Refractive errors
VISION disordersAbstract:The article focuses on the prevalence of myopia. In the past 30 years, there has been a great increase in the percentage of children and young adults developing short-sightedness or myopia. Most of the research aimed at understanding the development of refractive errors has centered on light and image formation entering the eye but it has explained how visual input signal is converted into a message to slow the rate of ocular growth. In 2009, it was discovered that the manipulation of ions could prevent abnormal eye growth.ISSN:1442679X
