1. An apparatus to decrease myopia progression of an eye, the apparatus comprising:
an optic comprising an optical zone;
a display coupled to the optic, the display having a periphery extending beyond the optical zone;
a defocus optical structure to form images of a plurality of stimuli anterior or posterior to a peripheral portion of a retina of the eye; and
an adhesive to couple the optic and the defocus optical structure to the display to align the defocus optical structure with the display;
wherein the display is configured to provide light through the optical zone to form a central image on a macula and through the defocus optical structure to provide the plurality of stimuli with defocus on the peripheral portion of the retina.
