Nearsightedness, or Myopia, is a vision problem experienced by up to about one-third of the population. People who are Short sighted can see fine for reading or other close up activities, but struggle with focussing on objects in the far distance

How Might You Suspect It?

Nearsighted people often have headaches or eye strain and might squint or feel fatigued when driving or playing sports. If you experience these symptoms while wearing your glasses or contact lenses, you may need a comprehensive eye examination as well as a new prescription.

What Causes Myopia?

Essentially, people become myopic when their eyes are too long. As a result of this they light rays bouncing off the object they are looking at, focus short of the retina and result in a blurred image.

Nearsightedness runs in families and usually appears in childhood. This vision trouble may stabilise at a certain point, although sometimes it worsens with age. This is known as myopic creep.

Nearsightedness Treatment

Nearsightedness may be corrected with onlinespectacles, contact lenses or eye surgery. Depending on your vision problem, you may need to wear your spectacles or contact lenses all the time or only when you need distance vision, like driving, seeing a chalkboard or watching a movie. If you’re Short sighted, your prescription is a negative number. The larger the number, the worse your lens systems will be.
