Myopic blur is the type of blur normally experienced by people with uncompensated [[myopia]].  Hyperopic blur is the type  normally experienced by people with uncompensated hyperopia.  In order to induce blur, use a lens with the opposite [[diopter]] sign as the lens normally used for blur correction, so a plus lens will give myopic blur to an [[emmetrope]].

Studies show that extreme hyperopic blur conditions induce myopia in growing animals, and myopic blur in growing myopic animals can partially reverse this.
