I have a background in physics, and I would like to think that I'm reasonably capable of expressing technical details succinctly. However, since I'm brand new to EM, I'm not quite au fait with the details (and orthodoxy) that is being described in the wiki. Hence my conflict between boldness and timidity in editing pages.
I have a background in physics, which carries with it the danger of over-simplying models to make them tractable. (See [[wikipedia:Spherical cow]]). All this messy biology stuff really gets in the way of a nice story.
 
I would like to think that I'm reasonably capable of expressing technical details succinctly (eventually).

Oh, and if I edit or delete something you've written and you think I'm wrong, do say so. And put it back. (And if I delete it again without talking to you about it, call me out on it. It will certainly be because I've forgotten that I'd deleted it previously, and forgot to check the diffs to see that it had been re-added for a good reason.)

Exaggerated longitudinal eye growth is assumed to play an important role in the development of myopia. A significant correlation between refraction and amount of near-work has been reported.

Based on the hypothesis that progression of myopia may result from tension of the extraocular muscles during prolonged convergence in near work ...

...  The human eye elongates slightly during accommodation,... suggesting that prolonged accommodation might lead to a permanent increase in eye length and myopia. On this basis, reducing accommodative effort might act to reduce myopia progression.

  Myopia is a worldwide public health problem. However, its understanding is incomplete, and many of its preventative and therapeutic aspects remain controversial. Nearwork is a primary, environmentally based factor in the aetiology of permanent myopia (PM), with nearwork‐induced transient myopia (NITM) being a possible contributory component. A relationship between PM and NITM has been suggested, but that connection has remained somewhat indirect and elusive. However, based on recent converging evidence from clinical, laboratory and modelling studies, a five‐fold argument will be advanced for a possible link between PM and NITM.
It is well‐established that nearwork is a primary, environmentally based factor in the development and progression of myopia...

Evidence that the internal optics compensate for corneal errors ? (ref 15 of the review) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15134473/
pubmed offered this as a similar study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18054373/
It is well known that the aberrations of the cornea are partially compensated by the aberrations of the internal optics of the eye (primarily the crystalline lens) in young subjects. This effect has been found not only for the spherical aberration, but also for horizontal coma...

  ... indicating that the internal ocular optics (mainly the crystalline lens) play a significant role in compensating for the corneal aberrations, thereby producing an improved retinal image. In this paper, we show that this compensation is larger in the less optically centered eyes that mostly correspond to hyperopic eyes. This suggests a type of mechanism in the eye's design that is the most likely responsible for this compensation. Spherical aberration of the cornea is partially compensated by that of the lens in most eyes...
