Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error that affects millions of people worldwide. If you have myopia, you experience difficulty seeing objects in the distance while having clear vision up close. This condition occurs when the shape of your eye causes light to focus in front of the retina, rather than directly on it. As a result, distant objects appear blurry, and you may find yourself squinting or straining to see clearly.
