What is Myopia (shortsightedness) in short?

Myopia, also known as short-sightedness, is a common vision condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by the eye’s inability to focus light properly onto the retina, resulting in blurred vision at a distance. Fortunately, myopia can be corrected with the help of corrective lenses or refractive surgery.

Corrective lenses (glasses) can be used to refocus light rays onto the retina and improve visual acuity. Refractive surgery reshapes the cornea and helps reduce or eliminate myopia altogether. Both methods can help restore clear vision and enhance the quality of life for those affected by myopia.
