Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common refractive error of the eye that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects appear clear. It is caused by the eye growing too long from front to back, or by the cornea having too much curvature. Myopia affects people of all ages, but is most common in children and young adults. The myopia market is a subset of the optical market, which includes products and services related to vision correction. This includes eyeglasses, contact lenses, and laser eye surgery. Myopia-specific products include special eyeglasses and contact lenses designed to slow the progression of myopia in children. Companies in the myopia market include Essilor, CooperVision, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb, and Alcon. These companies produce eyeglasses, contact lenses, and other vision correction products. Additionally, there are many independent optometrists and ophthalmologists who specialize in myopia treatment. Show Less Read more
