The Coleman theory of accommodation is reviewed in this paper, with the inclusion of subsequent experimental evidence to support the theory. Implications on the developmental characteristics of refractive error are presented. The scleral structure is hypothesized as an important refractive determinant, consistent with Coleman's accommodation theory. Additional concepts of refractive development are also explored.
