Understanding vision problem: Myopia

Nearsightedness, medically referred to as Myopia is a common vision condition that affects millions of people around the globe. It is the opposite of farsightedness.
The condition occurs when the eyeball is longer than normal, or the cornea is too curved. The light entering the eye is thus not focused properly leading to short sightedness. Myopia is a variation from the normal visual ability, not a disease.
