Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common eye condition in which distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects can be seen clearly. It usually occurs when the eyeball becomes too long or the cornea is excessively curved, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Common causes of myopia include genetic factors, prolonged screen time, excessive reading at close distances, poor visual habits, and limited outdoor activities during childhood. Symptoms may include headaches, eye strain, squinting, and difficulty seeing distant objects such as road signs or classroom boards. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent worsening vision and related complications.
