Abstract
Myopia is the main cause of vision decrease, being the most common refractive error. There are many classifications of myopia based on the size of refractive error, heredity, time of onset, fundus details and axial length of the eyeball. There is a great deal of inconsistency in the literature in this regard. Many descriptive terms as well as classifications defining types of myopia can be found, which leads to difficulties when comparing research results. The purpose of this article is to present the current definition and classification of myopia based on a review of the PubMed literature from the last 5 years.
