Abstract
Diffusion optics Technology (DOT) myopia control spectacle lenses are based on contrast theory. This innovative theory represents a radical departure from the classical concept of visual deprivation myopia. However, traditional theories have evolved, arriving at remarkably similar solutions for myopia control as the DOT lenses. Nonetheless, contrast theory still represents a departure from mainstream theories. Here, in an effort to resolve discrepancies, we review the science behind contrast theory and compare it to more conventional blur and defocus theories. Finally, we consider the implications of the different theories for the rational design of myopia control solutions.
期刊介绍：
Translational Vision Science & Technology (TVST), an official journal of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), an international organization whose purpose is to advance research worldwide into understanding the visual system and preventing, treating and curing its disorders, is an online, open access, peer-reviewed journal emphasizing multidisciplinary research that bridges the gap between basic research and clinical care. A highly qualified and diverse group of Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members is led by Editor-in-Chief Marco Zarbin, MD, PhD, FARVO.
The journal covers a broad spectrum of work, including but not limited to:
Applications of stem cell technology for regenerative medicine,
Development of new animal models of human diseases,
Tissue bioengineering,
Chemical engineering to improve virus-based gene delivery,
Nanotechnology for drug delivery,
Design and synthesis of artificial extracellular matrices,
Development of a true microsurgical operating environment,
Refining data analysis algorithms to improve in vivo imaging technology,
Results of Phase 1 clinical trials,
Reverse translational ("bedside to bench") research.
TVST seeks manuscripts from scientists and clinicians with diverse backgrounds ranging from basic chemistry to ophthalmic surgery that will advance or change the way we understand and/or treat vision-threatening diseases. TVST encourages the use of color, multimedia, hyperlinks, program code and other digital enhancements.
