Myopia Management at its Best in Hatboro
Myopia is the most common eye disease, affecting approximately 20% of the global population. ReFocus Eye Health specializes in comprehensive myopia management for all ages. Our tailored approach aims to enhance current vision and slow progression.
Insight Into What Myopia Is
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a refractive error where close objects can be seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. This occurs when the eyeball is too long, or the cornea (the front part of the eye) has too much curvature. As a result, light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
Myopia is a common vision condition that often develops during childhood and tends to progress until the eyes stop growing. Treatment options include eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, and effective myopia management strategies aim to slow its progression.
Recognizing Myopia Signs Across Ages
The signs and symptoms of myopia can vary between adults and children, but common indicators include:
In Adults:
- Difficulty seeing clearly at a distance, particularly when driving or watching TV
- Discomfort or fatigue in the eyes
- Frequent headaches
- The tendency to squint to see distant objects more clearly
- A preference for sitting closer to screens or objects to see them more clearly
In Children:
- Struggling to see the chalkboard in school
- Frequent squinting
- Excessive blinking or rubbing of the eyes
- Holding books or devices very close to the face
