Myopia, also known as near-sightedness, is a disorder where the shape of the eyeball lengthens and causes image blur on the retina. The progression of myopia is thought to be a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Myopia is the most common ocular disorder worldwide and the leading cause of visual impairment in children.
In 2010 it was estimated that 27% of the world population was myopic, and by 2050 it is estimated to rise to 52%. Genetics do play a role. It is estimated that if one parent is myopic, a child has a 1 in 5 (20%) chance of becoming myopic, if both parents are myopic it jumps to 1 in 3 or 33%.
