Why Myopia Is Undercorrected?

Overall, undercorrection of myopia may lead to the stimulation of eye elongation due to the presence of blurred vision at any distance and accelerate the progression of myopia. Instead, a full distance correction for myopia with a progressive reading addition is suggested to reduce the progression of myopia.

Why are myopia rates increasing?

Although genetics play a role in myopia, the abrupt increase points to environmental factors. Several studies have shown a link between near work and myopia in children.

Why do optometrists Overcorrect?

An overcorrection is more common with eye muscle surgery when spectacle lenses with prism are used to improve binocularity after the muscles are repositioned.
