    Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition where objects farther away appear blurry due to the eyeball being too long. Genetics play a role, as those with a family history are at greater risk. A lack of time spent outdoors may also increase chances of developing myopia. Preventative measures include screen-free weekends, free eye examinations, and eyeball exercises.
