Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for preventing and/or retarding myopia onset and/or progression are provided. Particularly, the system for preventing and/or retarding myopia onset and/or progression including an eye tracker, a display, a controller, and a dynamic blurring filter for the visual content on the display. The display is first presented to a subject, then the eye tracker is employed to detect the movement and the location of the subject's eyes and generate a tracking signal. The tracking signal is further processed by the controller to determine a gaze point of the subject's eye on the display. Based on the gaze point, a dynamic blurring filter is created and applied onto the display.
