"Kubota Glass technology works to reduce the increase in axial length associated with myopia by projecting myopically-defocused virtual images generated using micro-LEDS on the peripheral visual field to actively stimulate the retina."
I don't understand why would this work. It implies that stimulating the retina affects the shape of the eye somehow..
- lnanek2 5y agoWhy wouldn't it? Bright light and dark light causes your pupils to dilate differently, right? That's muscles actuated by input from the retina. Focusing is also about shaping the eye using muscles. It would actually be kind of weird if retina input wasn't used to shape the eyes.
- toast0 5y agoPresumably stimulating the retina with a defocused image activates the brain to use the ciliary muscle to adjust how the lens is focused, which could help reduce the effective myopia?
- everestid 5y agoInteresting. I would easily pay 5K$ for a pair of those glasses. Where can I get them, please?
