What Are the Different Myopia Causes?
Myopia, otherwise known as nearsightedness, is when a person has difficulty seeing objects at a distance, due to having a longer eyeball or a more curved cornea. There are several myopia causes, the two most common are heredity and environmental factors. More rare myopia causes are other eye disorders such as keratoconus or cataracts, sudden development of nearsightedness due to other illness like diabetes or continued growth of the back of the eyeball in adulthood, called pathological myopia.
