Nearsightedness is a genetic condition and only gets worse.
Nearsightedness can be improved in a majority of cases through vision therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. Myopia is defined as nearsightedness. This means you can focus better on near objects such as when reading than on distant objects. How well you see near varies depending on the amount of nearsightedness a person has. Over 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted.
