What Is Myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is one of the most common eye disorders in the world. According to research studies, over 22 percent of the worlds population suffers from the condition, with the numbers rising in recent years. Individuals with myopia tend to have blurry vision of distant objects, and clearer vision when the objects are near.
Nearsightedness is a refractive error encountered when light rays pass through the cornea. This error occurs when your eyeball is too long. It can also occur due to an abnormally shaped cornea, or a combination of both factors. People with serious cases of myopia may find it difficult to see things that are fairly near.
