Understanding What Myopia Is
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common eye condition where you can see close objects clearly but have difficulty focusing on things far away. This occurs because the eyeball is slightly too long or the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) is too curved. As a result, light rays focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, causing blurred vision for distant objects.
Recognizing the Signs of Myopia
Myopia, or nearsightedness, can manifest with several symptoms. Some common symptoms include:
In Children
- Squinting
- Frequent eye rubbing
- Sitting closer to the TV or board at school
- Complaints of headaches or eye strain
In Adults:
- Blurry vision for distant objects
- Eye strain
