Myopia commonly known as nearsightedness happens when the eye grows too long, causing distance vision to be blurry.
The more myopia a person is, the more their risk of eye diseases like glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, retina tears and detachments. All of these conditions can cause permanent vision loss.
Myopia can be slowed with intervention including lifestyle changes, contact lenses, and or glasses.
