Analysing the impact of myopia on the Stiles ‐Crawford effect of the first kind using a digital micromirror device

ConclusionThe study confirms a clear link between SCE‐I directionality, uncorrected defocus, and axial eye length. This may play a role for emmetropization and thus myopic progression as cone photoreceptors capture light from a wider pupil area in elongated eyes due to a geometrical scaling.
