Nearsightedness
Nearsightedness, also called myopia, occurs when the eyeball is longer than normal. This causes light entering the eye to reach the front of the retina — the incorrect location. As a result, people can see objects clearly up close, but objects appear blurry when far away.
Nearsightedness usually develops in young children, becomes worse in adolescence, and stabilizes in early adulthood.
