Myopia is the inability to see far away objects clearly, commonly referred to as nearsightedness. This condition typically develops during early childhood and often is progressive, more rapidly in the pre-teen years. Recent studies provide evidence that myopia increase when the images in the peripheral retina are focused behind the eye (hyperopic defocus). As the eye grows, it lengthens in attempt to bring the hyperopic defocus on to the peripheral retina. This increase in length will lead to an increase in myopia. High myopia in turn increases the risk of eye diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment and myopic degeneration--all of which can cause irreversible vision loss.
