title: Understanding and Treating Myopia: What More We Need to Know and Future Research Priorities.
abstract: Tantalizing treatment options to limit further global increases in the prevalence of myopia are emerging. However, to design more effective interventions, we still need to learn more about the underlying causes of myopia and the associated biological changes. Based on the outcomes of the 2015 International Myopia Conference, this short article summarizes what more we still need to discover and suggests possible priorities for future research.
