Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error where light focuses in front of the retina instead of on it. This results in distant objects appearing blurred, while near objects can be seen clearly.
A person with myopia has difficulty seeing objects that are far away. The eye might be longer than normal, or the cornea might be too curved, causing light to converge too strongly.
Myopia can be corrected using diverging lenses (concave lenses), which cause the light rays to diverge slightly before entering the eye, thereby shifting the focal point back onto the retina. Hyperopia (farsightedness) is the opposite condition, where near objects are blurred. Astigmatism causes blurred vision at all distances due to an irregularly shaped cornea or lens.
