Myopia Explained: Understanding the Condition

Definition and Causes: Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition where distant vision is impaired due to light focusing in front of the retina. Common causes include an elongated eye shape or a cornea with too much curvature. Factors such as genetics, prolonged close-up tasks, and environmental influences can contribute to its development.

Symptoms and Diagnosis: Symptoms include blurry vision for distant objects, eye strain, and frequent squinting. Our comprehensive eye exams use precise measurements and diagnostic tools, such as refraction tests and retinal imaging, to diagnose myopia and determine the best course of treatment.

State-of-the-Art Treatment Options: Correcting Your Vision

Eyeglasses: Prescription glasses are a common and effective way to correct myopia, designed to refocus light on the retina and improve clarity for distant vision. We offer a variety of stylish frames and lens options to suit your needs.

Contact Lenses: Custom contact lenses provide a convenient alternative to glasses, offering clear vision without the need for frames. Options include daily, bi-weekly, and monthly lenses, as well as specialized designs for enhanced comfort and vision.

Refractive Surgery: Advanced procedures like LASIK and PRK can reshape the cornea to correct myopia, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. Our skilled surgeons use the latest technology to ensure precise and effective results.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): This non-surgical option involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, improving vision during the day without the need for corrective lenses.
