What is myopia?

Myopia is more commonly referred to as nearsightedness, or the inability to see objects clearly at a distance.  The myopic eye is longer than the non-myopic eye.  Generally, the longer the eye, the worse the person’s vision.

Myopia is becoming more widespread and more severe than ever

In the early 1970s, only 25% of Americans were nearsighted. Today, more than 40% of Americans are myopic, and that number is increasing at an alarming rate, especially among school-age children.
