In which condition do individuals struggle to see things far away?

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a condition where individuals have difficulty seeing distant objects clearly. This occurs because light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina rather than directly on it, making distant images appear blurred while close objects can be seen clearly. This refractive error typically arises from an elongated shape of the eyeball or an overly curved cornea.

In contrast, hyperopia (farsightedness) presents the opposite challenge, where individuals struggle with close-up tasks while being able to see distant objects more clearly. Presbyopia, often associated with aging, affects the ability to focus on near objects, occurring due to a decrease in the elasticity of the lens. Color blindness is a condition affecting the perception of colors and does not specifically pertain to distance vision. Understanding these differences highlights why myopia is the correct condition associated with difficulty in seeing faraway objects.
