    Myopia
    Myopia, (short-sightedness), is a visual defect that causes blurred distance vision. Except in extreme cases, near vision remains clear. In most myopic people, the eyeball is longer than normal from front to back. As a result, light rays from a distant object meet in front of the retina.

It is caused either by the eyeball being too long or by the cornea and lens system of the eye being too powerful, both of which cause the images of distant objects to be formed in front of the retina instead of...

This occurs when one's eyeball is too long or too big for the focusing system of the eye, or when the eye's focusing mechanism is too strong (excess positive diopter), thus causing light rays to focus in fron...
