Myopia, also known as short-sightedness, is when distant objects appear blurred due to the axial elongation of the eyeball – the eye getting longer. With the eye being longer than normal, light is unable to focus on the central retina causing distant objects to look blurred and out of focus. As the eye develops during childhood, children with myopia are at risk of their vision worsening.
