What Is Myopia?
6. Disease Process
As mentioned earlier, although the exact cause of myopia is still unknown, evidence shows that genetics and environment factors play a huge role in its development. The development time of this condition also differs with individuals.
Some people are born nearsighted, others develop it during childhood, while others develop myopia during adulthood. Unlike mild myopia, severe nearsightedness might continue to get worse over time.
