: I believe both. Tension is the enemy in both cases. Too much tension in the ciliary body makes the muscle stiff so now the lens can't move/focus. The lens can become hardened over time from lack of movement. Think about an engine that sits for a long period of time. It can eventually deadlock. As for eye elongation. I don't think the eyes grow long or rather grow at all. I believe the tension caused my the extraocular muscles squish the eyeball to make it long. Think about a round balloon and you use your hand to smash it down. It becomes long. Learn to relieve the tension in both the ciliary and extraocular muscles and you fix both! | : I believe both.

There are other writings that indicate that MiM advocates that [https://www.myopiaismental.com/why-i-think-its-mental-and-why-i-started-mim/ myopia is more mental than physical]. This clashes with EM's view that myopia is related to the physical shape of the eye, and that any changes need to be measured and gradual to prevent issues with too much changes in the eye being too difficult for the brain to adapt to (which may manifest as double vision or eye discomfort). | |||

: "A lot of people say the peripheral isn't important but I'm going to tell you why many have trouble seeing the full field of view while looking at something with their central vision. . If you spend a lot of times indoors in rooms, you're surrounded by stationary objects that don't move. This isn't natural! The only way for them to move is for "you" to move! If you think about being outside in nature, nothing is ever perfectly still! The wind blows ever so slightly and it will cause trees, plants and flowers to sway. Also you don't sit in square, confined boxes in nature (which is why it's easier to improve vision outdoors vs indoors). To improve your ability to see movement indoors try reading with a TV running in the background to your left or right. Turn the sound off so you're not distracted by it, but as you read notice the movement on the TV as you read. I'm actually doing this while I type this reply!" | : "A lot of people say the peripheral isn't important but I'm going to tell you why many have trouble seeing the full field of view while looking at something with their central vision. .
