Perhaps I misunderstood Slide 16:
Myopia progresses in two stages: (1) near work induces lens spasm, causing pseudo-myopia; (2) use of minus lenses temporarily improves distance vision, but leads to eye elongation and axial myopia. The result of elongation is a need to prescribe stronger minus lenses, in a vicious cycle of ever stronger lenses.
I haven't watched the video yet, but this sounds like my experience.
- lefrenchy 5y agoYeah, it's possibly true but I guess I'm just skeptical that glasses make it worse. It just seems like it would be easy to confuse the symptoms (eye elongation and axial myopia) as being caused by the glasses rather than just by whatever factors originally caused the myopia (or if it was genetic/age driven). From a brief search it seems that studies show that glasses don't make eyesight worse.
