Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. Distant objects appear blurry while near objects remain clear. Myopia is increasingly prevalent worldwide, especially in Asian countries, and high myopia carries additional risks of retinal complications.
Myopia results from the eyeball growing too long (axial myopia) or the cornea/lens having excessive focusing power. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute. Increased near work (reading, screen time) and reduced outdoor activity in childhood are associated with higher myopia prevalence.
Laser reshaping of the cornea to correct mild to moderate myopia. A quick, blade-free procedure with rapid visual recovery.
A biocompatible lens implanted inside the eye for high myopia. Reversible and preserves the cornea. Excellent visual quality.
Corrective lenses remain the simplest option. For children, special myopia-control lenses can slow progression.
