Hyperopic defocus the technical term used by research papers to describe the blur caused by having the image focused behind the retina. It would normally be resolved automatically by Accommodation, but for Hyperopia (far-sightedness), the lens is not strong enough to do (for near objects).
Studies show that it is a stimulus which, over time, can cause axial elongation.
