Understanding Myopia

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up objects can be seen clearly. The condition occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia is often diagnosed in childhood and tends to progress over time. Regular eye exams are essential to monitor and address myopia effectively.

Treatment for Myopia

When you come in for your eye exam, we will review your medical history and discus your symptoms with you. Then, we will perform a vision acuity test, where we'll ask you to read letters off of a chart. If you have to not be seeing the items as clearly as you should be, it may be due to myopia.

In order to determine your prescription, we will have you look through different sets of lenses. After, we will discuss whether glasses, contacts, or both are the right fit for your needs. If you're not interested in corrective lenses, our eye doctor can also speak with you about LASIK eye surgery.
