What is myopia?
Myopia is a condition in which the eye does not focus properly. It is also known as “short-sightedness†or “near-sightedness.†People with myopia can see more clearly at short distances but have blurred vision at long distances.
Myopia is the most common eye disease in the world. The prevalence of myopia in children varies between countries and ethnic backgrounds, being over 50% in some Asian countries and about 15% in Australia. Unfortunately, the numbers are rising rapidly all around the world.
The economic cost of myopia is huge, estimated at an annual US$250 billion worldwide.
