• Resumen

  • The mistery of emmetropization, that strange force squeezing the frequency distribution of the total refractive errors into its sharply peaked shape has been up-to-date unsolved. Let alone the cause of ametropia. After analysing refraction with age in any subject it is clear that a servo mechanism exists and furthermore it can be measured. This servo can explain theoretically all kind of ametropias, the effect of glasses and the eye refraction of any subject from intrauterine life. Experiments already conducted support the theory, and the results show that they are in perfect agreement. From a practical point of view, both theoretical and experimental considerations would allow us to treat ametropic patients in order to reduce their dioptric value.
