Myopia, also known as near-sightedness and short-sightedness, is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it, causing the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus. It does not affect focus when looking at a close object.
When used colloquially, 'myopia' can also refer to a view on or way of thinking about something which is—by extension of the medical definition—hyper-focused and fails to include a larger context beyond the focus.
Myopia is most commonly corrected through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power (i.e. have a net concave effect) which compensates for the excessive positive diopters of the myopic eye. Negative diopters are generally used to describe the severity of the myopia, as this is the value of the lens to correct the eye. High-degree myopia, or severe myopia, is defined as -6 diopters or worse.

Myopia (Short Sightedness) Myopia results if the lens curvature is too great or the entire eyeball becomes elongated. Light rays entering the eye are refracted more than is necessary. Consequently light is focused in front of the retina. The image perceived is thus blurred. The condition is called short-sightedness as objects near the eye are clearer than those further away. Myopia can be corrected by placing a concave lens in front of the eye. The surface of the concave lens refracts light rays in such a way that the rays diverge slightly from their original path. The lens of the myopic eye now refracts the diverged light rays in to focus on the retina. www.edufine.net
Myopia, or near-sightedness, is generally assumed to be an irreversible, genetically determined condition that can only be ameliorated with corrective lenses or surgery. Its prevalence is 30-40% in the U.S. and Europe, and more than 50% in some Asian countries, but it is rare in Africa and in pre-industrial cultures. The incidence of myopia correlates with IQ, school achievement, and industrialization, suggesting that an environmental factor is at work—namely, near-work. This talk will review the biology and epidemiology of myopia and present experimental evidence that myopia can be reversed naturally by specific focusing techniques and practices.

Short sightedness in children may have a bright and simple solution. As our urban kids spend less time outside, their eyes are growing abnormally from a lack of bright light. In this episode of Catalyst we look into the rise of myopia, and how scientists are finding a way to turn the tide on the epidemic.
While not the kind of epidemic you're used to hearing about, nearsightedness is becoming a major health issue in many places. Learn about how scientists are finding out the reasons behind the increase in myopia, and how sunlight might be an important component.

Why eye exercises could help your eyes? http://youtu.be/i3XFh1Djdi8 First, excuse me for bad English and accent! In this video, I am showing one of the exercises which can help your eyes. I cured my myopia in just eight weeks, doing these exercises 20min per day. I achieved amazing results: Before left eye -0,50 right eye 0,75 After 2 months left eye 0,0 and right eye 0,0. One of most powerful exercise is this one... Basically what you have to do in this exercise is: First of all what you'll have to do is to put your finger in front of your eyes and after that find a point far away. For this example in this video I have taken a peak of the mountain. So I am looking far away... So fi...

There is no genetic basis for myopia, and myopia has been reported at ever increasing numbers over the last 4 decades. If nearsightedness (myopia) was truly genetic, what a lot of "webmd's award-winning content" claims when myopia is attributed to family history, then something must have happen to the genes of humans within a short period of time. What happened in Singapore? How do you explain genetically that there is so much eye damage in asian students going on...
In cases of high myopia, exchange of the normal lens inside the eye can be done to correct the vision. After removing the natural lens, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) of various types can be inserted. The procedure is done under topical (eye drops) anesthesia.

Presented by the University of Missouri College of Optometry
International speaker Dr. Maria Liu discuss myopia as a global epidemic, especially the increasing prevalence of high myopia and its associated complications that can lead to irreversible vision loss.The presentation also includes a brief update on evidence based management options for myopia retardation.

I can't see, I can't sleep
I can't swim, I can't talk
Can't write, I can't count
Can't fly, can't play today
Take your things and run away
Grab yourself a holiday
Fix your nose and change your name
Thyroid eyes they diagnose
Myopia
A red light stomach ache
Relax, but don't be late
It's too loud I've disappeared
I can't drink, I can't tell the time

One man war against the odds
Spectacles that break because
Myopia
I don't think that I can afford ya
You make me ugly, anyhow
I think I see a car before me
Or maybe I've just hit a cow
