This experiment found that undercorrection (giving a prescription slightly weaker than correct) of myopia in children accelerated progression of myopia. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12445849/.

The results appear to have been replicated in another experiment: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16907670/

If we're going to cherry pick studies, according to one line in this more recent study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26032395/) from the same website:

> "The regression analysis showed that myopia progression significantly decreased with increasing amount of undercorrection (r (2) = 0.02, P = 0.02) in all children"

Just because you have sources doesn't mean its true. Look at how healthy diets have changed in the past years based on scientific studies. If you wanted to be healthy according to 2005 science then by all means eat your low-fat high-carb diet.

The two studies I linked were randomized controlled trials. The study you linked was not.
