Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is an increasingly common vision condition, especially in children and young adults. Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. This misalignment results in blurred vision when looking at distant objects, while nearby objects remain clear. Understanding myopia progression and knowing when to seek help can make a significant difference in managing this condition effectively.
