Optical Defocus Theory

Optical Defocus Theory is a theoretical framework within visual optics that specifies how controlled retinal defocus induced by optical devices modulates eye growth and refraction, distinguishing it from other myopia control mechanisms by emphasizing the spatial and temporal characteristics of peripheral image blur as a guiding signal for emmetropization.
