Myopia is a common condition that simply means nearsightedness, which makes it difficult for individuals to see distant objects clearly. It is not a disease, but a refractive error. Treatment options can include corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses, or in some cases, surgery. There is no medication to treat myopia.
