Myopia, or nearsightedness, typically does not cause blindness on its own; however, it can increase the risk of developing serious eye conditions that may lead to vision loss. High myopia can contribute to complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. These conditions can potentially result in blindness if not properly managed. Regular eye exams and proper treatment can help mitigate these risks.
