Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one material into another. Your eye is a complex system of multiple [[eyeballs|layers of material with different refractive indexes]], all trying to project the great big wide world onto your tiny retina. Sometimes there is a mismatch between the refraction of the eye and it's length, and the focusing system at the front of the eye misses it's target in the back. This causes [[myopia]] or [[hyperopia]], which is not a medical disease in and of itself, but just a description of your refractive state not being perfect.
