Nearsightedness occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea, the eye’s clear front lens covering, has too severe a curvature to properly focus the light that enters the eye. If the eye is too long due to myopia, or nearsightedness, then the light rays entering the eye focus in front of the retina, which causes distant objects to be blurry.
