The 15 pages that link to Myopia, each with the reason it gives.

• Contact lensBroader topic: Minus-powered contact lenses move the focus back onto the retina.

• Refractive errorBroader topic: It is the common nearsighted form of refractive error.

• HyperopiaCompared with: Myopia places the uncorrected focus in front of the retina, opposite hyperopia’s typical direction.

• EyeglassesRelated: Diverging lenses in eyeglasses shift the focus of distant light backward.

• AccommodationCompared with: Unlike accommodation, myopia is a baseline focusing error that persists for distant viewing.

• AstigmatismCompared with: Myopia shifts focus by distance; astigmatism produces different focus by meridian.

• DiopterBroader topic: Minus-diopter lenses shift the focus farther back onto the retina.

• Retinopathy of prematurityRelated: Children with a history of ROP have increased risk of nearsightedness.

• LASIKBroader topic: LASIK can flatten the cornea to reduce myopic focusing.

• OptometryBroader topic: This common condition illustrates how eye shape and focusing produce blurred distance vision.

• EyeBroader topic: It is a common consequence of excessive optical power or an elongated eye.

• KeratoconusRelated: Corneal steepening can increase myopia as keratoconus progresses.

• Human eyeCompared with: It shows how a small mismatch in eye optics shifts the focal plane.

• Blurred visionBroader topic: It produces distance blur through a specific focusing mismatch.

• Bates methodBroader topic: Bates claimed his method could reverse nearsightedness, a claim unsupported by clinical evidence.
