A Novel MRI-Based Approach to Peripheral Refraction and Prediction of Myopia Progression
Using this novel approach to calculate peripheral refraction, we provide evidence based on eye shape that peripheral hyperopic refractive error is more pronounced in myopic children and is strongly associated with myopia progression. The significant anatomical variability in retinal radii underscores the need for personalized treatment strategies, which may enhance the efficacy of optical interventions for myopia management.
