Nearsightedness: What is Myopia
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common refractive error of the eye where distant objects appear blurry while close-up objects remain clear. It occurs when the eyeball is slightly elongated or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in difficulty seeing objects in the distance clearly. Myopia can typically be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgeries to help focus light onto the retina accurately, providing clearer vision.
