What is Myopia?

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is the inability to see distant images or objects clearly. It affects millions of children and adults worldwide and up to 40% of people by age 17. Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long (axial length) or the cornea and eye lens are too curved relative to the length of the eyeball. A myopic eye focuses images in front of the retina instead of directly on the retina, resulting in blurry distant vision.

What Causes Myopia?

Myopia is often hereditary, and typically begins in childhood and plateaus by the age of 20.

Myopia may also develop in adulthood as a result of environmental factors or health problems:

  • Excessive amounts of near-vision work may cause a false or “pseudo” myopia. Blurred distance vision in this case occurs from stress on the eyes’ focusing skills after prolonged near work tasks. Clear vision typically returns after rest. Constant visual stress may lead to myopia.
  • Myopia may also be caused by diabetes, or may be an early sign of a developing cataract.
  • Night myopia, in which blurred distance vision is only experienced at night, may be caused by a focusing difficulty in low light.
