How does the eyeball change shape?!
Question:
How does the eyeball change shape?
According to optometry science, eyeballs can become enlongated from front to back, or horizontally, which results in myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness).
If so, what exactly is it that changes the shape of the eyeball before the lens hardens or changes curvative? Even children have vision changes - so anyone or ODs know the answer?
Answers:
I was told that my nearsightedness was because of 'age'...I didn't like that answer. I have heard it is heredity, lack of vitamins, and poor eye care. It may be an individual thing, I am not sure.
BTW...Mr. Spock, good to see you again. My you haven't aged a bit since I watched you 40 years ago on TV!
