- Squinting to see clearly
- Trouble seeing at night
- Blurry vision
- Eye fatigue
Myopia has various causes, including misshapen corneas and length of the eyeball. This makes it difficult for your eye to focus light coming in from outside the eye. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to prevent myopia, as it is a physical difference of the eye and can run in families.
