It happens because our eyes become longer and cannot properly focus light.
As a consequence, people who are myopic struggle to see distant objects.

In the last 50 years, the prevalence of myopia in the UK has more than doubled – from 10% in the 1960s to 23% in the 2000s (1). Experts predict that by 2050 more than 50% of the global population will be myopic – shortsighted (2).
