OBJECTIVE to study peripheral refraction and the shape of the eyeball in children with different clinical refraction. METHODS Using an original method, peripheral refraction was measured at 10-12 degrees temporally and nasally from the fovea in 56 right eyes with different clinical, or axial, refraction of 20 boys and 36 girls aged 7 to 16 years (11.9±1.17 years on average). The shape of the eyeball was judged of by the ratio of its anterior-posterior axial length (AL) to horizontal diameter (HD). RESULTS The incidence and value of peripheral myopic defocus in children appeared to decrease with clinical refraction increasing from high hyperopia to high myopia. This was the first time, mixed peripheral refraction was found in children, occurring more frequently in higher myopia. This mixed peripheral defocus, shown to be a transitional stage between relative peripheral myopia and relative hyperopia, indicates non-uniform stretching of posterior pole tissues in the course of refraction development and myopia progression. As ocular refraction increases from high hyperopia to high myopia, the growth of AL outpaces that of HD. CONCLUSIONS Obviously, natural peripheral defocus results from changes in size and shape of the eyeball in the course of refraction development.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses
D012029 Refraction, Ocular Refraction of LIGHT effected by the media of the EYE. Ocular Refraction,Ocular Refractions,Refractions, Ocular
D012030 Refractive Errors Deviations from the average or standard indices of refraction of the eye through its dioptric or refractive apparatus. Ametropia,Refractive Disorders,Ametropias,Disorder, Refractive,Disorders, Refractive,Error, Refractive,Errors, Refractive,Refractive Disorder,Refractive Error
