I have a background in physics, and I would like to think that I'm reasonably capable of expressing technical details succinctly. However, since I'm brand new to EM, I'm not quite au fait with the details (and orthodoxy) that is being described in the wiki. Hence my conflict between boldness and timidity in editing pages.

This seems like a good place to collect interesting papers that I don't want to lose references to...

review paper on the growth mechanism

Wallman J, Winawer J (2004). "Homeostasis of eye growth and the question of myopia". Neuron. 43 (4): 447–68. doi:10.1016/j.neuron.2004.08.008. PMID 15312645.

A review paper:

As with other organs, the eye's growth is regulated by homeostatic control mechanisms. Unlike other organs, the eye relies on vision as a principal input  to guide growth. In this review, we consider several implications of this visual guidance. First, we compare the regulation of eye growth to that of other organs. Second, we ask how the visual system derives signals that distinguish the blur of an eye too large from one too small. Third, we ask what cascade of chemical signals constitutes this growth control system. Finally, if the match between the length and optics of the eye is under homeostatic control, why do children so commonly develop myopia, and why does the myopia not limit itself? Long-neglected studies may provide an answer to this last question.

Accommodation causes elongation ?

Read SA, Collins MJ, Woodman EC, Cheong SH (2010). "Axial length changes during accommodation in myopes and emmetropes". Optom Vis Sci. 87 (9): 656–62. doi:10.1097/OPX.0b013e3181e87dd3. PMID 20562668.CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

To investigate the influence of accommodation on axial length (AXL) and a comprehensive range of ocular biometric parameters) in populations of young adult myopic and emmetropic subjects.

But maybe it's convergence, not accommodation

Bayramlar H, Cekiç O, Hepşen IF (1999). "Does convergence, not accommodation, cause axial-length elongation at near? A biometric study in teens". Ophthalmic Res. 31 (4): 304–8. doi:10.1159/000055551. PMID 10325546.CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)
