There is a growing body of evidence to support the belief that most myopia develops as a result of prolonged exposure to nearpoint activities. This paper summarizes the most important studies that have been done and postulates a mechanism by which prolonged accommodation can result in myopia. Possible means of arresting or preventing the development of myopia are discussed.
