description Background: Myopia or nearsightedness is a condition in which light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina, resulting in the blurry appearance of distant objects. This can be caused by disturbances in the regulation of eye growth that can be hereditary or coming from the environment, for example from outdoor activities. Based on research in 2017 in Beijing stated that more frequent outdoor activities can reduce the risk of myopia.
