Principle vs activity

- Welcome to the wiki, SilentNote . First rule of
fight clubthe wiki: be bold and change things, discuss things only if your changes get reverted or someone flags them up.
-NottNott (talk) 16:22, 10 June 2020 (UTC) - @SilentNote: Yes, it's a principle as defined on Jake's blog. An example of an activity would be print pushing. Heddy (talk) 13:33, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Excessive sharpness
"excessive sharpness is the stimulus that increases the axial length of the eye"... that's a new one. Do we know what that means, and is there evidence that it causes elongation ? Divenal (talk) 16:49, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Accommodation
@SilentNote: (I think you introduced this ..?) "As accommodation is an automatic activity, active focusing is not straight forward. While it is easy to move the skeletal muscles of your body, it is not possible to control the ciliary muscles in the same way. However, by careful manipulation of the blur horizon, it is possible to encourage the eyes to push slightly harder to achieve focus."
Is this stuff relevant ? Accommodation (by the usual definition) is about increasing focusing power to focus on nearer objects. AF is about trying resolve myopic blur, which means (somehow) reducing focusing power. (There are some heretical discussions on the forum about possible links, but ...)
