Figure 1. Three models of myopic eye growth.

Figure 1.

(A) Global expansion shows an eyeball that is proportionally stretched. (B) The equatorial stretching model indicates a growth model where the fovea stays rigid and unaffected as the eye grows. (C) The over-development model shows that myopic eye growth is similar with developmental eye growth where photoreceptors continue to migrate towards the fovea as the eye grows.
