Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close ones remain clear. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia often develops in childhood and may worsen with age, especially due to excessive screen time or lack of outdoor activity. Genetics also play a role. Symptoms include squinting, eye strain, and headaches. Regular eye checkups can help manage and monitor its progression.
