What vision anormality occurs when light is focused in front of the retina?

When light is focused in front of the retina, it results in a condition called myopia, or nearsightedness. Individuals with myopia can see nearby objects clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. This occurs because the eyeball is often elongated or the cornea has too much curvature, causing light rays to converge before reaching the retina. Corrective lenses, such as concave glasses or contact lenses, are commonly used to adjust the focal point onto the retina.
