what are the causes of myopia and hypermetropia
Answers
Answer:
Both myopia (short-sightedness) and hypermetropia (far-sightedness) are common eye conditions that occur when light does not focus on the retina properly. Both conditions are easily corrected using prescription glasses or contact lenses or, in mild cases, by laser eye surgery.
