When Yogita, his beloved daughter, is born blind, Mohan’s world undergoes a radical transformation. The additional demands of being a new father while managing a faltering business force him to question his past choices and redefine what it means to live a meaningful life.

Told with unflinching honesty, Myopia explores the beauty and pain of parenting a child with unique challenges and the gifts of resilience, acceptance, and spiritual growth that arise from suffering. Mohan’s journey teaches us that life’s hardest trials often contain the greatest treasures, revealing strength we never knew we possessed.

For anyone who has faced life’s deepest sorrows and is searching for a way to endure—and even thrive—this memoir is a testament to the power of love, the wisdom of loss, and the enduring light that guides us through the darkest times.
