Myopia (Shortsightedness)

Myopia, also known as myopia or shortsightedness, is a common eye condition that affects many people around the world. This condition results in a person being able to see close objects well, but having trouble distinguishing distant objects.

Myopia occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea is too steep, causing light rays to focus on the retina at the back of the eye rather than in front of it. This causes the image a person sees to become blurry and unclear.

Myopia symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the severity of the condition. People with mild myopia may experience slight blurring of vision, especially when trying to see distant objects. People with more severe myopia may have more severe vision problems that make it difficult to perform everyday tasks, such as reading road signs or seeing a person's face in the distance.

Treatment for myopia may include wearing glasses or contact lenses to help focus on distant objects. In some cases, surgery such as laser vision correction may be necessary to reshape the cornea and improve the focusing of light on the retina.

Additionally, there are several precautions you can take to reduce your risk of developing myopia. This may include limiting the time you spend on the computer or other screen devices, as well as taking regular breaks and exercising outdoors.

Overall, myopia is a common eye condition that can have a serious effect on a person's quality of life. However, modern treatments and precautions can help improve vision and reduce the risk of developing the disease. If you are experiencing symptoms of myopia, contact your doctor for advice and help treating the disorder.

Myopia (from Latin myopia - “myopia”) - a vision defect in which close objects are poorly visible, and distant ones are blurry. The image is focused in front of the retina rather than on it. Occurs in 15-25% of people.

Nearsighted people can only see a few centimeters in front of them. This makes it difficult for them to distinguish small details and read small print.

To correct myopia, concave lenses are used to create an image in front of the retina. This treatment method is called spectacle correction. Glasses for correcting myopia have concave lenses that produce an image in front of the retina.

Contact lenses and surgical methods can also be used to correct myopia.

To reduce the risk of developing myopia, you need to eat right, exercise and take care of your health.
