Nycthemeral Rhythm of the Cornea and Night Myopia

Key Points

To explore the link between the corneal rhythm and the occurrence of night myopia.
Conducted experiments to observe corneal characteristics over a 24-hour period.
Measured changes in corneal topology and its effect on accommodation at night.
Demonstrated the existence of a nycthemeral corneal rhythm.
Found a significant relationship between corneal changes and increased night myopia.

Abstract

Traditionally night myopia is confined to chromatic, spherical aberrations or to an eye's state of accommodation. In the literature there is no statement of any relationship between nocturnal myopia and corneal topology. I have tried to prove experimentally the existence of the nycthemeral corneal rhythm and its influence on night myopia.
