Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear blurry but near objects can be seen clearly. Myopia is more common in children who spend a lot of time doing activities that require near vision, such as reading or using electronic devices. It usually emerges around ages 6 to 14. While genetics may play a role, myopia is not solely caused by hereditary factors.
