Which books on amazon can u buy to read about this shaping of eye during development

  Not sure. I'm not an ophthalmologist; I've just read a bunch of journal papers to try to understand the development of nearsightedness specifically, since I wanted to use it as an example of an effect in a pop-psychology blog post. Probably any ophthalmology textbook would go into the development of the eyeball, though I'm not sure the science of the effect of light on said development is old enough to have made it into any of those textbooks. I think current textbooks would explain that myopia is caused by a distortion of the shape of the eyeball during development, but wouldn't attempt to go any deeper into why that distortion occurs.
