myopia
Myopia is a refractive error of the eye in which light rays from distant objects focus in front of the RETINA instead of directly on it, resulting in blurred distance vision while nearby objects remain clear.
Myopia (Nearsightedness or Short-sightedness) is a type of refractive error (ametropia) in which the optical image of a distant object is formed anterior to the retinal plane when the eye is at rest. It commonly occurs due to an increased axial length of the eyeball (axial myopia) or excessive refractive power of the CORNEA and crystalline lens (refractive myopia). This causes parallel light rays entering the eye to converge before reaching the retina, leading to difficulty seeing distant objects clearly while near vision is usually preserved.
Myopia, also called nearsightedness or short-sightedness, is a common eye condition where you can see nearby objects clearly, but faraway objects appear blurry.
• Myopia is a common vision problem caused by improper focusing of light inside the eye. • It occurs when light rays focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. • Nearby objects are usually seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurred. • It may occur because the eyeball is too long or the cornea/lens bends light too strongly. • It is commonly corrected using concave lenses (minus-powered glasses), contact lenses, or refractive surgery. • Myopia is also known as nearsightedness or short-sightedness.
