Myopia and Indoor Lighting: Is Retinal Illumination the Key?
A study published in Cell Reports in 2026 proposes a new hypothesis about the mechanisms behind myopia: it may not be screens themselves that drive its development, but rather the reduction in light reaching the retina during prolonged near work in poorly lit indoor environments. Researchers at SUNY College of Optometry (New York) show that pupil constriction linked to accommodation — the natural reflex that makes nearby images sharp — is more pronounced in myopes, further reducing retinal illumination.
LASIK vs SMILE | Refractive Surgery Brussels
In this article, we compare two refractive surgery techniques to correct myopia: wavefront-guided LASIK (WFG-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Discover the results of two independent studies that demonstrate why LASIK is the preferred option for those looking to get rid of glasses or contact lenses.
Atropine is Effective in Slowing Down Myopia Progression
The results of a recent clinical trial confirm that atropine is an effective medication for slowing down myopia progression in children aged 6 to 12.
Slow down shortsightedness
New studies show conclusive results allowing an effective approach to limit the evolution of myopia in children.

Laser eye surgery in Brussels allows you to free yourself from glasses and contact lenses by correcting refractive errors. Refractive surgery aims to compensate these defects to become fully or partially independent of any optical correction.

Glasses
Myopia (or shortsightedness), astigmatism, hyperopia and presbyopia are refraction anomalies: it means that the image perceived is blurred as it is not focused on the retina.
