• The eye is too short for the focal length of cornea and lens
• The growth of the length of the eye is controlled by an image-processing feedback mechanism
• Myopia is not inherited

• Inappropriate visual stimulation
• Genetically determined changes in the gain or offset of the feedback loops
• Inappropriate responses of the target tissues
• All of the above (correct)

• Inappropriate visual stimulation
• Inadequate near work (correct)
• Inherited traits
