Glasses are commonly used to address near-sightedness.

Myopia (, muōpia, from myein "to shut" + ops (gen. opos) "eye"), commonly known as nearsightedness (American English) and shortsightedness (British English), is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus but in focus when looking at a close object.
