ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling the refractive state of the eye. The image of a visual target is continuously positioned close to, but offset from, the retinal plane of the eye to be controlled. The offset is in such a direction from the retina that as the eye attempts to focus on the image, the refractive state of the eye will change toward the desired goal. To increase the effectiveness of the method and apparatus, the position of the image is continually varied along the optical axis.
