Commonly myopia is called nearsightedness or short sightedness and is the reason for you to wear spectacles all your life if detected with an impaired vision. Myopia is a condition where the refracted light does not fall directly on the lens causing objects that are far away to look blurred and hazy.
Herbs are not effective to repair the damaged shape of the eye but benefit in protecting the eye cells, reduce the strain and improve blood circulation in the eye.
