30 per cent of the Australian young adult population (with much higher percentages in Asia) suffer from myopia, and while we know the retina senses defocus, we do not know how. The knowledge gained through this project will help the development of pharmaceuticals to control myopia and of developmental practices that minimise the chances of children becoming myopic.

30%的澳大利亚年轻人患有近视（亚洲的比例要高得多），虽然我们知道视网膜感知散焦，但我们不知道如何感知。通过该项目获得的知识将有助于开发控制近视的药物以及最大限度地减少儿童患近视的机会的发展实践。
