Myopia (Nearsightedness)

If you can see objects close to you clearly but struggle to focus on distant objects, you may have myopia, or nearsightedness. This common condition affects nearly 30% of the population. While the exact cause is not fully understood, it can have a genetic component and is often associated with activities like reading or spending long hours on a computer.

Nearsightedness can be effectively treated with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Additionally, laser treatments can reshape the cornea to help the eye focus light correctly.
