Nearsightedness is a kind of eye astigmatism, often known as myopia, is a vision-related problem in which objects close to you are clearly seen but objects further away are not as clear. Pictures focus in front of your retina rather than on your retina when light rays bend (refract) incorrectly owing to the anatomy of your eye.
Nearsightedness can develop gradually or sometimes, and commonly worsens between childhood and puberty. Nearsightedness can also be a hereditary condition.
What causes Myopia?
When the natural development of the eyeball is disrupted or varies, myopia develops. Because the myopic eye is stretched more than it should be, light from far away objects is concentrated in front of the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurry distance vision.
Symptoms that Characterize Myopia
-When staring at faraway objects, your eyesight becomes blurry.
-In the need to see clearly, you may have to squint or close your eyes somewhat.
-Eye strain leads to headaches.
-Driving a car can be difficult, especially at night, due to difficulty seeing (night myopia)
