This systematic review of 9 studies confirms that under-correction of myopia does not slow progression; rather, at least half of the studies have shown the myopia progression is accelerated. There was no benefit found in overcorrection, and the evidence for un-correction was equivocal. Clinically, this advocates for the full correction of myopia.
Myopia has multi-factorial causes with both nature and nurture contributing. In this research the authors used a retrospective cohort study to examine any differences in progression rate with different ethnicities and greater understand who may be at increased risk of myopic progression.
Learn about trends and attitudes with contact lenses for myopia control and how practices are changing in some world regions but not others.

Sat amongst a packed auditorium I feverishly wrote down as much as I could, and with the permission of James have used my notes to form this blog.
