Myopia (nearsightedness)
What is myopia (nearsightedness)?
If you have myopia you can clearly see close objects, but
distant objects are blurry. Myopia is caused by the eyeball
being too long. Myopia occurs in different degrees from minimal
to extreme. The more myopic you are the blurrier your vision is
at a distance and objects will have to be closer to you so you
can see them clearly.
Myopia can be corrected with contact lenses, glasses or
refractive surgery. |
