-'''Hyperopic defocus''' [[axial length]] of an [[eyeball]] increases when wearing glasses that are too powerful for close-up. It is the primary cause of [[lens-induced myopia]].
+'''Hyperopic defocus''' is the technical term used by research papers to describe the [[blur#Myopic_vs_Hyperopic_Blur|blur]] caused by having the image focused behind the retina.  It would normally be resolved automatically by [[accommodation]], but the lens is not strong enough to do so for objects closer than the [[near point]], which moves outwards during a [[ciliary spasm]].
+Studies show that it is a stimulus which, over time, can cause [[axial elongation]].
