'''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 appear [[blur]]ry while close objects appear clear.
