The aim of this study was to compare the relative peripheral refraction (RPR) at four different levels of illuminance, ranging from photopic conditions to complete darkness, using an open‐field autorefraction method. The RPR was calculated for each eccentricity by subtracting central from peripheral autorefraction measurements. The study included 114 myopic eyes from 114 subjects (mean age of 21.81 ± 1.91 years) and the mean difference in RPR between scotopic and photopic conditions (0 and 300 lux, respectively) was +0.32 D at 30° temporal and +0.37 D at 30° in the nasal visual field (NVF). Statistically significant differences were observed between 0 and 300 lux at 30° in the temporal visual field and at 30° and 20° in the NVF. Our results revealed a significant increase in relative peripheral hyperopia with increasing visual field eccentricity along the horizontal visual field in myopic eyes of young adults. Furthermore, this relative peripheral hyperopia increased as illumination decreased. These findings suggest that an increase in peripheral illuminance may protect against myopic eye growth. 000131707 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/E44-20R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FSE/T24-20R 000131707 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000131707 590__ $$a2.8$$b2023 000131707 592__ $$a1.162$$b2023 000131707 591__ $$aOPHTHALMOLOGY$$b24 / 95 = 0.253$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT1 000131707 593__ $$aOphthalmology$$c2023$$dQ1 000131707 593__ $$aSensory Systems$$c2023$$dQ1 000131707 593__ $$aOptometry$$c2023$$dQ1 000131707 594__ $$a5.1$$b2023 000131707 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000131707 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3979-4528$$aRemón, Laura$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000131707 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9068-7728$$aÁvila, Francisco J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000131707 7102_ $$12002$$2647$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
