What Is
Myopia

Myopia is caused by deficiencies in two areas of the visual field: distance vision and short-sightedness. With close vision, an object is sharply focused on the retina. In short-sightedness (myopic astigmatism), the focal point is behind the retina; however, distant objects still appear blurred.

Symptoms Of Myopia

Myopia can lead to more severe eye problems like Glaucoma, Cataracts etc. That’s why we need to identify myopia faster and apply the treatments. Here are some common symptoms of myopia:

  • Blurred vision
  • Severe Headache
  • Eyestrain
  • Difficulty In Seeing Far Object
  • Closing Eyelid Too Often To See Clearly

Myopia Treatments

Contact Lens

For more severe myopia, the use of lenses with stronger lenses and an appropriate distance between the near and far visual corrections is necessary.

Eye Glasses

Correcting myopia with glasses or contact lenses is usually a long term commitment.

Laser Surgery

For those unable to wear glasses for any reason, laser corrective myopia surgery may be an effective alternative to correcting the refractive error.

Correcting Myopia

As an increasing number of people are being diagnosed with myopia, a new trend in corrective treatments is to use artificial lenses to correct the condition. Immediate success is often reported when wearing contact lenses. However, some people prefer to wear glasses for the rest of their lives.
There are many ways to treat myopia. One option is to wear glasses or contact lenses. Although glasses can be expensive, they have many benefits. First, glasses provide the convenience of not having to buy and carry around contact lenses whenever you travel, go to the beach, or simply want to avoid having to buy a new pair of eyeglasses whenever you feel the need.
