Myopia is a common vision condition where distant objects are seen more clearly than objects that are near. It happens because the eyeball is a bit longer than normal or the cornea has too much curve. This deviation involves the deflection of light, which?interferes with its refraction, not allowing images to focus sharply on the retina.
This eye condition, which commonly begins during childhood, can change over time. Many people have trouble seeing distant objects, such as (driving) road signs or a school presentation board.
But it is more than just an inconvenience; untreated myopia can also affect quality of life and interfere with academic performance and sports participation. Regular optical checkups are necessary for early diagnosis and effective treatment of this type of refractive defect.
And as lifestyle shifts, particularly where screen time has surged, the father of two says understanding myopia will become ever more?important to maintain good eyesight at any age.
Causes of Myopia
Nearsightedness, or myopia, for example, happens because light?entering the eye falls in front of the retina, instead of directly on it. This causes distant?vision to appear blurry while close items look clear.
Genetic factors are of great importance in the development of myopia. If one or both parents is nearsighted, the children are more likely to suffer from vision problems.
There are important environmental factors, as well. More screen time and less outdoor time have been implicated in causing rising cases among children and teenagers. Urban life may restrict exposure to?natural light, exacerbating the condition.
Beyond that, too much near work — think reading or staring at smartphones for hours on end — can tire the eyes and encourage myopic progression over?time. Knowledge of these causes?is critical for the development of management strategies targeted to individual’s needs.
