: Modern "myopia control" lenses (like MiSight ) work by manipulating the peripheral image to bring it in front of the retina (myopic defocus) to slow down axial growth.

: Peripheral vision is critical for activities like driving and maintaining posture, as it helps identify structures and forms without needing a direct line of sight. Decoding Natural Signals from the Peripheral Retina - PMC The Peripheral image

: Clinical research suggests that the quality of the peripheral image significantly impacts how the eye grows. : Modern "myopia control" lenses (like MiSight )

: When the peripheral image falls behind the retina (hyperopic defocus), it may signal the eye to elongate, leading to nearsightedness. leading to nearsightedness.
