high-myopia research

High myopia research investigates why some individuals develop severe nearsightedness, where distant objects appear blurry due to the eye’s shape causing light to focus in front of the retina. Scientists explore genetic, environmental, and biological factors that influence eye growth and elongation. Understanding these mechanisms helps develop better treatments, such as eye drops or therapies to slow progression, and improve prediction of risks like retinal complications. This research aims to reduce the potential for vision loss throughout life and enhances insights into eye development and health.
