MYOPIA

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. It occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia often develops in childhood and can progress over time. It may lead to eye strain, headaches, and difficulty seeing objects at a distance, such as road signs. Treatment options include glasses, contact lenses, and, in some cases, refractive surgery to correct vision and improve clarity. There are several options for refractive surgery and a skilled refractive surgeon can help you to navigate your choices.
