Ophthalmology: Is there a serious problem with having the axial length of an eye greater than 26mm?
Can you tell me more about myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear blurred while close objects are clearer. It occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea is too steep, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of on it. This can be caused by genetic, environmental, or lifestyle factors and may require corrective lenses or surgery to treat.
