Myopia is characterised by a slight elongation of the eyeball, causing the image to fall in front of the retina, while hypermetropia is characterised by a slight shortening of the eyeball, causing the image to fall a little behind the retina. In both cases, blur circles are formed instead of image points leading to blurring of the overall image.
