'''Lens-induced myopia''' is the generally accepted observation <ref>[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=lens+induced+myopia Google Scholar list of Lens Induced Myopia studies]</ref> (by researchers, if not the mainstream optometry industry - citation needed) that wearing corrective lenses seems to somehow cause myopia to worsen.
