Nearsightedness, or myopia, is not considered a mutation in the genetic sense. Instead, it is a common refractive error that can result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as prolonged near work and limited outdoor activities. While certain genetic variations can increase the likelihood of developing myopia, it is primarily a complex trait rather than a single mutation.
