Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a condition where close objects appear clear but distant objects are blurry. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea has too much curvature, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina. Diverging lenses are used in glasses to correct this condition by spreading out light rays before they enter the eye, allowing them to focus on the retina and improve distant vision.
