Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent refractive error affecting the eyes' ability to focus on distant objects. This condition has become increasingly widespread in recent years, with its prevalence on the rise globally. Myopia alters the way light is focused onto the retina, resulting in blurred distance vision while nearby objects remain clear. This overview delves into the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, management, and potential interventions related to myopia, focusing on its impact on individuals and society.
