A method and apparatus for reducing or preventing myopia is presented. In one mode, a display includes a front surface and a region is provided along at least one area of the front surface. The region provides temporal stimulation to a user viewing the display, which results in the prevention or reduction of myopia in a person viewing the display without the need for accurate accommodation or binocular fixation. In a second mode, a stand-alone device provides temporal stimulation to a user viewing the display, which results in the prevention or reduction of myopia in a person viewing the display. In a third mode, the temporal stimulation is projected into the viewer's field of view, which results in the prevention or reduction of myopia in a person viewing the projection.
