'''Lens-induced myopia''' is | '''Lens-induced myopia''' is the generally accepted observation (by researchers, if not the mainstream optometry industry - citation needed) that wearing corrective lenses seems to somehow cause myopia to worsen. Typically when someone wears [[distance vision]] glasses for [[close-up]] use. | ||
The actual mechanism is still an area of active research. One of several hypotheses is that it is result of [[hyperopic defocus]], | |||
