Nearsightedness, or 'myopia', typically starts in childhood and usually requires glasses or contact lenses to see clearly for activities like viewing a whiteboard at school. Nearsighted children may experience an increase in their nearsightedness as they grow, resulting in a greater reliance on glasses or contacts.

See how vision without glasses or contact lenses changes with increasing levels of nearsightedness.
