Effect of short-term peripheral myopic defocus on ocular biometrics using Fresnel “press-on” lenses in humans

Abstract This study assessed axial length and choroidal thickness changes following short-term peripheral myopic defocus in normal adult subjects. Twenty subjects underwent defocus sessions by viewing a full-field projected movie 4 m away for 4 h in the morning, while wearing spectacle lenses, corre...
