Your Guide to Myopia Management: Which Option is Best?

Myopia is a refractive error in the eye that causes distant objects to appear blurred while nearby objects are clear. This condition occurs when the eyeball is slightly longer than normal or when the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) has a stronger curvature, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
