7 lis 2024 · The cornea and lens work together to bend the light so it lands on the back layer of the eye, called the retina. The retina then sends a signal to your brain that allows you to see. With nearsightedness, the shape of your eye prevents light from bending properly, so that light is aimed in front of your retina instead of on your retina.

24 wrz 2024 · Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error that makes distant objects appear blurry. Myopia typically occurs because light isn’t bending properly into the retina. This can happen for many reasons, such as a longer eyeball shape or a steep cornea. Nearsightedness typically develops in childhood, between ages 6 and 14.
19 kwi 2024 · The medical term for nearsightedness is myopia. Myopia happens when the shape of the eye — or the shape of certain parts of the eye — causes light rays to bend or refract. Light rays that should be focused on nerve tissues at the back of the eye, called the retina, are focused in front of the retina instead.

7 lis 2017 · Myopia (near-sightedness) is the most common refractive vision disorder in children. It is characterized by blurring of objects viewed at a distance, and is commonly the result of abnormal elongation of the eyeball – which causes the refractive image formed by the cornea and the lens to fall in front of the photoreceptors of the retina (Figure 1).
