Personalised Care for Near-sightedness

Myopia, commonly known as near-sightedness, is a refractive error that makes the distant objects appear to be blurred while the near objects may still remain clear. It often begins during the childhood but can also affect the adults at any age. Regular eye examinations help in monitoring the changes in prescription and identify the most appropriate options of management.

Myopia treatment depends on age, eye health, prescription and whether the condition is progressing. Options may include some prescription glasses, contact lenses and also the specialist myopia-control approaches for the suitable patients. In selected adults with a stable prescription, surgical vision correction may also be considered after a detailed evaluation.

Myopia Management and Vision Correction

A highly comprehensive assessment helps in determining the degree of myopia and correctly evaluate the overall eye health. For children and adolescents, monitoring the progression is particularly crucial because higher myopia can increase the risk of certain retinal complications later in life. Your ophthalmologist can discuss the most suitable management strategies and the importance of regular follow-up.

For eligible adults seeking eye surgery for myopia, the options may include LASIK, PRK or other refractive procedures, depending on the corneal measurements, prescription and also clinical suitability. Surgery is not considered to be appropriate for everyone, and it does not remove the need for ongoing eye care.
