nearsightedness

Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects are clear. This happens when the eye is too long or the cornea (the front part of the eye) is too curved, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Factors such as genetics and prolonged close-up tasks can contribute to its development. People with nearsightedness often require corrective lenses, like glasses or contact lenses, to help focus on distant objects clearly. Regular eye examinations can help manage and treat this condition effectively.
