	'''Myopia''', also known as '''near-sightedness''' or '''short-sightedness''', is a refractive state where distant objects appear [[blur]]ry while close objects appear clear. This occurs because of a mismatch between the [[axial length]] and the focusing power of the visual system, causing the image of an object ~~at infinity to focus in front of the [[retina]]~~. Someone who has myopia is called a '''myope'''.		'''Myopia''', also known as '''near-sightedness''' or '''short-sightedness''', is a refractive state where distant objects at infinity focus in front of the [[retina]]. This generally causes distant objects to appear [[blur]]ry, while close objects appear clear with [[accommodation]]. This occurs because of a mismatch between the [[axial length]] and the focusing power of the visual system, causing the image of an object. Someone who has myopia is called a '''myope'''.
