ABSTRACT
It was recently established that the axial power, the refractive power required by the eye for a sharp retinal image in an eye of a certain axial length, and the total refractive power of the eye may both be described by a bi-exponential function as a function of age (Rozema, 2023). Inspired by this result, this work explores whether these bi-exponential functions are able to simulate the various known courses of refractive development described in the literature, such as instant emmetropization, persistent hypermetropia, developing hypermetropia, myopia, instant homeostasis, modulated development, or emmetropizing hypermetropes. Moreover, the equations can be adjusted to match the refractive development of school-age myopia and pseudophakia up to the age of 20 years. All of these courses closely resemble those reported in the previous literature while simultaneously providing estimates for the underlying changes in axial and whole eye power.
