Myopia, or near-sightedness, is caused because the eyeball is too long in relation to the focusing power of the lens onto the retina. This causes the image to be focused at a point in front of the retina rather than on top of it. There are two ways to correct this: corrective lenses (eyeglasses or contact lenses) or surgery.
