Using the research from the University of Houston College of Optometry and the Vision Institute, located at the University of New South Wales, Australia, researchers reportedly have come up with a new way to control myopia. The announcement from Vision Cooperative Research Centre (Vision CRC) in Australia notes that "Professor Earl Smith from the University of Houston College of Optometry has demonstrated that if we move the central image onto the retina but leave the peripheral image behind the retina, the peripheral image can drive the eye to elongate, causing myopia to increase."
