Myopia
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up objects are clear. This condition occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
Treatment for myopia generally starts with corrective lenses such as glasses or contact lenses to help focus light directly on the retina. However, in cases where myopia is progressive or severe, refractive surgeries like LASIK or PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) may be recommended. These surgeries reshape the cornea to improve the way light is focused onto the retina, providing long-term relief from the need for glasses or contacts.
In some cases, orthokeratology, or the use of specially designed contact lenses worn overnight, can help temporarily reshape the cornea to correct vision. Another treatment option includes atropine eye drops, which are known to slow the progression of myopia in children.
