Myopia 3. How the eye controls its own growth: Emmetropization.

As the eye grows, it monitors image sharpness to regulate growth/length. We review the experimental work done to figure out how this remarkable mechanism works. It does very well in early childhood, but then some eyes diverge into myopia.

This whole video supports jake steiner and the whole endmyopia theories

Beautiful:
All normal eyes, control their refractive STATE , to THEIR AVERAGE VALUE OF ACCOMMODATION.
A perfect scientific truth.

Thanks for this, expecially an explanation of SightGlass.

Thank you, and good catch on video 5. Numbers were correct. Graph label error fixed and rerecorded.

[@frost-health851]

Very informative video. Summarized all the content related to emmetropization beautifully. Can't believe I learnt about all this in just an hour because it took me years to even understand a single word out of those research papers...

Very good videos but dated. Most content has been superseded.

this video is gold

Very good videos but dated. Beyond gold, there is platinum: Medina A. The cause of myopia development and progression: Theory, evidence, and treatment. Surv Ophthalmol. 2022 Mar-Apr;67(2):488-509. doi: 10.1016/j.survophthal.2021.06.005. Epub 2021 Jun 25. PMID: 34181975.

Is there a TH-cam video?

[@otiebrown9999]

@@myopiaprogression7574 Is that Dr. Antonio Medina? E.E.
Yes, correct.
The outdated theory, is the Box Camera theory of J. Kepler.
But times change.
The fundamental eye always controls its refractive STATE, to its average of Accommodation.

I developed some of the videos.
But they are Engineering Models, AMF difficult to understand.

@@otiebrown9999 Random question, but if somene is in their mid twentees and developes myopia, by high pressure, because I didn't go to sleep and had 24/7 upclose vision, is it possible to reverse it? I'm like -1.5 or such, with astigmatism on one eye.
Or is that still not possible no matter what? I had perfect vision, and then after 3weeks I went from 20/20 to basically -1 :/ all my fault, and I know exactly why... I would even patch my eye when it used to hurt just so I can sit in front of the computer, and squint the other to relieve some pain, and did that for the 3weeks - andit took me two months to get rid of the pain although my right eye still has some pressue in after almost two years and its a bit uncomfortable

[@kirylbelasheuski2504]

@Chaig Blackwell, Your videos is interesting but when I see pictures on video I'm confused. 7:25 on the picture I see that PLUS lens (for example +3 diopt) induces Myopia, and MINUS (for example -3 diopt) induces Hyperopia. On 7:55 You are talking about "for example a MINUS lens creates hyperopic defocus which causes the eye to lengthen resulting." Axial length is grown as I understood if focus is on sclera and grow of AL induces Myopia.

WGH first thanks G-d for your very good video ,
could you please tell in this video in about minute 28:00 there was an experiment that checked half blurring , by the angle , by putting half path of the light go , half blurred , but the result could not be quite understood what was it , did half eye elongate (retina grow) , and half eye did not elongate ( did not grow ) ? , or all eye elongate , could you please tell , what was the result , half eye elongate , or full eye retina elongate grow ?
Why the question comes , since in minute 28:23 it is said that the y axis is the deferent between the two EYES , while it was expected to be said the deferent between the tow SIDES
So could you please tell , what was the result , half eye elongate , or full eye retina elongate grow ?

[@otiebrown9999]

How all normal controls their long-term refractive STATE, is indeed the $64,000 scientific question.
It is never a medical issue, nor question.

[@myopiaprogression7574]

This video presents the conclusions of some investigators. The problem is that many of the papers presented here have unsupported conclusions and many have been shown to be flawed. The important papers on myopia are missing.

[@otiebrown9999]

Yes.
There is not one word, about Prevention, when still at 20/40.
It is that first minus that is certainly going to create stair-case myopia.

[@mballer]

Which papers are missing?

[@otiebrown9999]

Dr. Craig Blackwell,
At least you get this part accurately presented.
Each eyes is "servoing", to its AVERAGE value of ACCOMMODATION.
A plus and minus 3 lens, demonstrates this servoing response, correctly.
There is no "Emmetropization", at all.
I know you are a medical doctor, and not a control systems engineer.
You were taught Kepler's theory, and simply do not understand why all eyes are controlling their refractive STATE, to their Average Accommodation signal.

[@otiebrown9999]

If you said that all eyes are dynamic systems, at birth, you would be very accurate - in science.
No eye was ever a "frozen cameras", as you believe it to be.
That is the scientific issue we should discuss, on a level field.
Prevention is possible, if you will use a plus for all closs work, before you go below 20/50, on your home Snellen.

Gene therapy for red green color blindness please. In my opinion, its visual impairment. I cant discriminate some colors. I cant get my dream professions. My sight of color is very limited. Please help me and 350 million people whom color blind🙏😭
