'''Lens-induced myopia''' is the researched phenomenon <ref>[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=lens+induced+myopia Google Scholar list of Lens Induced Myopia studies]</ref> that wearing corrective lenses seems to cause myopia to worsen. Typically this occurs when lenses are either too [[overprescribed]], or when someone wears [[distance vision]] glasses for [[close-up]] use. This causes [[hyperopic defocus]], the mechanism likely to be the cause of lens-induced myopia. | '''Lens-induced myopia''' is the researched phenomenon <ref>[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=lens+induced+myopia Google Scholar list of Lens Induced Myopia studies]</ref> that wearing corrective lenses seems to cause myopia to worsen.
