-'''Myopic defocus''' is the technical term used by research papers to describe the [[blur#Myopic_vs_Hyperopic_Blur|blur]] caused by having the light focused in front of the retina. Studies have shown it to induce axial shortening. It is the underlying mechanism for EndMyopia myopia reduction.
+'''Myopic defocus''' is the technical term used by research papers to describe the [[blur#Myopic_vs_Hyperopic_Blur|blur]] caused by having the light focused in front of the retina. This is the typical symptom of uncorrected [[Myopia]] (short-sightedness).  Myopic blur can be induced by [[reduced lenses]] for [[myopes]] or [[plus lenses]] and looking in the distance.

+Appropriate amounts of myopic defocus induce axial shortening. Excessive myopic defocus or form deprivation (such as blur from diffusers) tend to induce [[Axial elongation]], just like hyperopic defocus, or may result in no changes, which is called [[Blur adaptation]].
