What is myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is a refractive defect where objects up close are in focus, but objects in the distance appear blurry. Most people with myopia wear glasses or contacts. However, myopia is a very treatable eye condition, which means you can live a life without glasses or contacts thanks to fast, safe corrective procedures that will restore your vision.
What causes myopia?
Myopia occurs when the cornea is too steep or the eye is too long. When light rays enter th eye, they do not converge together as they should, so the eye cannot focus properly, especially on objects in the distance.
