Vision Problems: Myopia (short-sightedness)

A myopic person, or a person with short-sightedness, has trouble with their focusing in the distance. Their distance vision will be blurry and their reading vision will be clear. Myopia occurs for 2 reasons; either the lens system of the eye is too strong for its length, or as is more often the case, the eye is too long for its optical power. This means that when light enters the eye, the image is focused in front of the retina. A concave lens is needed in order to focus the image on the retina. Glasses or contact lenses are used in order to focus the image on the retina making it clear to see.
