What is Myopia?
Myopia is a refractive error that occurs when light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This leads to blurred distance vision.
It usually develops during childhood and may progress with age if not properly managed.
Types of Myopia
- Simple Myopia: Mild to moderate vision blur
- High Myopia: Severe condition with higher risk of complications
- Pathological Myopia: Progressive and may affect retinal health
