In addition, the disorder can also occur in adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What Causes Myopia?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The causes of myopia<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> stand out as a subject that many people wonder about. There are two parts of the eye called cornea and lens, which are responsible for focusing images.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The cornea is a dome-shaped tissue located on the outer surface of the eye. The lens has a transparent bicovenx structure. Both of these areas, which are responsible for focusing in the normal-shaped, healthy eye, have a smooth and perfect curvature like a marble surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In a healthy eye with normal curvature, the cornea and lens refract the light coming into the eye and allow it to focus on the retina located at the back of the eye. However, if the corneal surface or lens surface is not smooth and properly curved, light cannot be refracted properly and refractive errors occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Nearsightedness<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> generally occurs when the eyeball is longer than normal or the cornea has an excessively curved structure. In these cases, the refracted light focuses on the front of the retina, instead of being focused on the retina. As a result of this situation, a blurry image is obtained for distant objects. Some factors; It increases the possibility of <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">myopia defect<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> . <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Myopia risk factors<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> can be listed as follows;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Genetic factors<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> : Myopia is known as a defect that is extremely prone to genetic transmission. <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Having myopia<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> in one of the parents increases the likelihood of myopia in the person. In addition, if both parents have myopia, <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">the likelihood of myopia<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> increases even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Working at close range and excessive reading<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> : People who spend a lot of time in front of the computer during the day, reading or writing are considered to be in the risk group for myopia. Spending time in front of the computer or reading books for long periods of time, especially during childhood, is considered to be among the main reasons <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">for the development of myopia<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> .
