  Myopia is a very common condition that affects nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population. […] Many times, myopia is diagnosed during school screenings. Sometimes parents notice that their children are having difficulty seeing street signs or the television. Your eye doctor can conduct a refractive evaluation to determine whether your eyes focus light rays exactly on the retina at distance and near. A visual acuity test will determine your ability to see sharply and clearly at all distances. Your eye doctor will also check your eye coordination and muscle control, as well as your eyes ability to change focus. All of these are important factors in how your eyes see.

• #4 How to Tell (Quickly) if You Are Nearsighted – NVISION

  https://www.nvisioncenters.com/nearsightedness/how-to-tell/

  Nearsightedness involves the ability to see things clearly only when they are relatively close to you. The technical term for this condition is myopia. It typically develops due to an elongated eyeball that focuses light on the middle, not the back, of the eye. The condition often appears in childhood, worsens through adolescence, and then stops changing (stabilizes) in early adulthood. […] A prescription for myopia correction is measured in diopters, and the severity of the condition is also tracked in diopters.
