emmetropization A 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.
