Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses and methods for prediction, diagnosis, planning and monitoring for myopia and myopic progression. In some embodiments, one or more refractive properties of the eye is determined for each of a plurality of retinal locations of the eye. The plurality of locations may comprise a central region, such as a fovea of the eye, or non-foveal region such as a peripheral region or a region of the macula outside the fovea. Measuring the refractive properties of the eye for the plurality of locations may be helpful in diagnosing myopia and other ocular conditions by providing the refractive properties of the eye for locations away from the fovea, such as the peripheral retina.
