what is myopia?
Myopia is the most prevalent eye condition, affecting almost 30% of people globally.
Myopia (commonly known as nearsightedness) is an eye condition which causes distant objects to appear blurry. Myopia occurs when the length of the eyeball is too long in shape, leading to increased distance between the cornea and retina. This results in having less light entering the eye before reaching the retina and causing blurring vision. The shape of the cornea or the thickness of the lens in the eye can also contribute to Myopia.
