Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Myopia or nearsightedness is a condition in which the person is unable to clearly focus at distant objects, but can visualize nearby objects clearly. This occurs because the lens is no longer able to change its conformation properly so that the rays from the far away object can meet at the retina and form a clear image.
