nearsightedness
Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a common vision condition where objects close to the eye can be seen clearly, but objects further away are blurred. This is often due to the eye growing too long from front to back, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on the surface. Nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.
