Myopia (Nearsightedness)
What it is:
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It occurs when light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
Common signs:
-
Difficulty seeing far away
-
Squinting
-
Eye strain or headaches
-
Trouble seeing signs or classroom boards
Treatment options:
Prescription glasses or contact lenses, myopia management options, and refractive surgery consultations for eligible adults.
