Myopia, referred to in English as “myopia,” is a common vision problem.
It indicates a refractive error where the eyes focus images in front of the retina, leading to blurry vision.
It is essential to understand this condition, its causes, and the possible treatments.
Simply put, myopia occurs when the eye is elongated. This causes light rays to converge in front of the retina instead of on it.
This results in clear vision for objects that are close and blurry vision for distant objects.
If you find yourself squinting to see distant objects or suffering from headaches after prolonged visual tasks, you might be experiencing symptoms of myopia.
Several factors can contribute to the development of this vision condition:
If your parents are myopic, there’s a higher chance you will be too.
Prolonged close-quarters activities, such as reading or looking at a screen, can increase the risk.
Myopia usually begins in childhood and progresses during the teen years.
