The visual performances of eight low myopic subjects (-2 D to -7 D) and eight high myopic subjects (greater than -7 D) with normal visual acuities were analyzed by contrast sensitivity testing with both spectacle and contact lens corrections to determine if any differences in function exist between those groups. Statistically significant (p = 0.0382) contrast sensitivity losses, particularly at the higher spatial frequencies, were found for the high myopic subjects when corrected with spectacles. However, with contact lens correction, no statistically significant overall difference between the two groups was evident (p = 0.5083). We believe that these results confirm for highly myopic subjects the lack of any consistently present loss of resolution. The differences with spectacle correction are attributable to the nature of the optical correction.

Background: Uncorrected refractive error is reported to be the most common cause globally of vision impairment in school age children. However, little is known about the extent of uncorrected refractive error in Israel. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of vision impairment in schoolchildren recruited for the Israel Refraction, Environment, And Devices (iREAD) Study.

Purpose: Peripheral optics have been suggested to play a role in myopia progression, with accommodation responses also considered a potential contributor. This study aimed to investigate whether modifications in peripheral optics through different spectacle lenses affect accommodation responses.
Methods: Dynamic accommodation responses were assessed using a double-pass instrument while switching the target from distance (3 m for 3 seconds) to near (0.
