A method for at least one of preventing myopia and retarding the progression of myopia is provided. The method includes measuring optical aberrations in a human eye (42, 43, 44) and correcting the optical aberrations (46). Measuring optical aberrations (42, 43, 44) may include measuring wavefront aberrations (45) of parallel light rays entering the eye.
