Abstract
Background: Myopia is a serious public health problem which appears due to inconsistent contributions of ocular components which includes (corneal power, anterior chamber depth, lens power, and axial length) to overall eye structures. Refractive components of the anterior segment of myopic eyes were unable to recover exaggerated development of the posterior segment during the emmetropization process. Therefore, parallel rays of light are brought to focus in front of the retina. It is also commonly known as nearsightedness. There are three types of myopia, mild, moderate, and severe. Myopia is a widespread type of refractive errors across the globe.
