Myopia glasses use concave lenses, which can be made from either resin or glass. These lenses offer stable optical performance and are available in both single-vision and bifocal designs. They are highly wear-resistant and effectively correct visual impairment. Myopia occurs when the eyeball elongates along its anterior-posterior axis, resulting in blurred distance vision. In daily life, performing regular eye exercises is recommended to help alleviate symptoms.
