1. A method of altering myopia- or hypermetropia-progression in an eye having a retina comprising the steps of:

  • applying a corrective device to said eye, said correcting device comprising an optical configuration for controlling off-axis peripheral aberration and relative curvature field of said device;

    controlling off-axis peripheral aberration of said eye and said corrective device;

    shifting the image of a peripheral visual field relative to a peripheral retina while substantially simultaneously positioning a central image at or near a fovea; and

    providing substantially clear central vision and a signal to modify axial growth.
