Don't call it an eye condition - implies "broken". Every blog page calls it a refractive state. And don't "blame" the focusing power when we are pointing the finger at axial elongation. |

This occurs because of a mismatch between the [[axial length]] and the focusing power of the visual system, causing the image of an object at infinity to focus in front of the [[retina]]. Someone who has myopia is called a '''myope'''. | ||
