This is a common condition (also called “myopia”) in which the light rays that form the visual image focus in front of the retina (the area of the eye that is sensitive to light) rather than on the retina. For the best vision, the image must focus exactly on the retina. Myopia can be caused by having an abnormality of the lens or more often because the eyeball is longer than usual. Either way, it is treated with glasses or contact lenses.
