emmetropization em·me·trop·i·za·tion (em'ĕ-trōp'i-zā'shŭn), The process by which the refraction of the anterior ocular segment and the axial length of the eye tend to balance each other to produce emmetropia.emmetropizationA process that is presumed to operate to produce a greater frequency of emmetropic eyes than would otherwise occur on the basis of chance. This mechanism would coordinate the development of the various components of the optical system of the eye (e.g. axial length, refracting power of the cornea, depth of the anterior chamber, etc.) to prevent ametropia. |
