Explanation
Myopia is connected with B: Eyes.
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error of the eye that causes distant objects to appear blurred, while nearby objects remain clear. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, which causes light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of on it.
Myopia is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It usually develops in childhood or adolescence and can progressively worsen over time. The exact cause of myopia is not fully understood, but both genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a role.
Symptoms of myopia include difficulty seeing distant objects, eyestrain, headaches, and squinting. The condition can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam, which may include visual acuity testing, refraction testing, and examination of the retina.
Treatment options for myopia include corrective lenses (such as glasses or contact lenses), refractive surgery (such as LASIK or PRK), and orthokeratology (a type of contact lens that reshapes the cornea while you sleep). Regular eye exams are also important to monitor and manage myopia, as it can lead to other eye problems such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment.
