Interesting to see this. This is what most opticians don't tell you but this seems to come from a professional standpoint. Could the general tenet be changing re theories of refractive error?
They don’t. Their eyeballs are born shorter than normal and as they age their hyperopia reduces due to the elongation naturally occurs while a person matures. Hyperopia doesn’t get worse, but if someone is born with a big amount of it, amblyopia might occur.
Nice video! What do you think about reading glasses (for example one with two +1 sides) to prevent myopia from developing while (students) are focussing on things close to their eyes?

if the eyeball only elongate then why farsighted people's eyeball shorten?

Wrong. We know in 2022 what the correct theory of myopia is.
Can you provide any references?
