What is Myopia? Myopia (commonly called nearsightedness) is a vision condition where a person can see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurry. What Causes Myopia? It usually occurs when: The eyeball is too long from front to back. The cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) is too curved. As a result, light rays focus in front of the retina, instead of directly on it. Symptoms of Myopia: Blurred vision when looking at distant objects. Squinting to see clearly. Eye strain or headaches (especially after focusing on distant objects). Difficulty seeing while driving, especially at night (night myopia). Risk Factors: Genetics : If one or both parents are myopic, the risk increases. Excessive near work : Prolonged reading, computer, or phone use.
