Myopia is a defect of vision in which distant objects appear blurred while near objects are seen clearly. Usually, it happens during childhood and becomes worse if not properly controlled. Blurry vision in nearsightedness is caused by the pupil’s inability to adequately dilate so that properly refracted light converges on the retina rather than elsewhere in the eye. There are many aspects responsible for good and flawless sight, among them being genes, behavior, and environment, says biological dad’s mom as she remembers how much attention little ones paid.
