MYOPIA OR SHORT SIGHTEDNESS


WHAT IS MYOPIA ?
 

Myopia, also called nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is the eye condition 

where objects nearby or a short distance away are clear but objects that are far 

away are blurred. It is caused by the eye being slightly too long.





WHY SHOULD YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT MYOPIA ?




Myopia is getting worse around the world, even to the point of being EQUAL TO 

AN EPIDEMIC. In some parts of Asia, 80% of the girls in high school are myopic. 

It has become an issue of monumental importance affecting over a billion people 

around the world and it is getting worse.
