1. Nearsightedness: A common visual disorder characterized by difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly, while nearby objects appear in sharp focus. Nearsightedness is also known as myopia. It is caused by an elongation of the eyeball, which results in a greater curvature of the lens, causing light rays from distant objects to focus in front of the retina, rather than directly on it. This results in a blurred image of distant objects, while nearby objects appear in sharp focus.
