Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a common type of refractive error where close objects appear clearly, but distant objects appear blurry.
How does nearsightedness develop?
Nearsightedness develops in eyes that focus images in front of the retina instead of on the retina, which results in blurred vision. This occurs when the eyeball becomes too long and prevents incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. It may also be caused by an abnormal shape of the cornea or lens.
Is it Refractive Surgery for me?
Contact lenses work by becoming the first refractive surface for light rays entering the eye, causing a more precise refraction or focus.
In many cases, contact lenses may provide clearer vision, wider field of vision, and greater comfort. They are a safe and effective option if fitted and used properly. However, contact lenses may not be the best option for everyone.
If you certain eye conditions you may not be able to wear contact lenses. Discuss this with your eye care professional.
Refractive surgery aims to permanently change the shape of the cornea which will improve refractive vision. Surgery can decrease or eliminate dependency on wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses.
There are many types of refractive surgeries and surgical options should be discussed with an eye care professional.
If you have a refractive error, such as nearsightedness (myopia),
farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism or presbyopia,
REFRACTIVE SURGERY is a method for correcting or improving your vision.
