Myopia

Myopia (short sightedness) is a common vision condition in which near objects appear clear, but far objects look blurry. It occurs when light rays that should be focused on the retina are focused in front of the retina.

Short sightedness usually develops during childhood and adolescence, and it usually becomes more stable between the ages of 20 and 40. Myopia tends to run in families.

A basic eye examination can confirm short sightedness. A timely medical intervention can improve your vision.
