Purpose: Longitudinal chromatic aberration can provide luminance and chromatic signals for emmetropization. A previous experiment examined the role of temporal sensitivity to luminance flicker in the emmetropization response. In the current experiment, we investigate the role of temporal sensitivity to color flicker.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the change in over-refraction, if any, after a scleral lens settled on the eye for 6-8 h.

Methods: Sixteen patients of varying refractive errors and normal corneal curvatures (measured with Pentacam Oculus) were fitted with trial Mini-Scleral Design (MSD) scleral lenses (15.8 mm diameter) in one eye.

Purpose: Time spent outdoors is protective against myopia. The outdoors allows exposure to short-wavelength (blue light) rich sunlight, while indoor illuminants can be deficient at short-wavelengths. In the current experiment, we investigate the role of blue light, and temporal sensitivity, in the emmetropization response.
