Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a very common eye condition. • A person with myopia can see objects close-up clearly but distant objects appear blurry. • When light enters the eye, the cornea and the lens focus the light onto the retina. • The retina sends the light signals to the brain for us to see. • In the eyes with myopia, the distant image is not focused on the retina so the image is not clear. • The most common cause of myopia is an increase in the length of the eye from the front to the back. • Occasionally, the cornea may be too steeply curved. • Studies show myopia is becoming more prevalent in children, especially during the COVID pandemic. • This may be the result of children spending more screen time and fewer outdoor activities.
