Causes and Risk Factors
Myopia occurs in eyes that focus images in front of the retina instead of on
the retina. This can result in blurred vision. It happens when the eyeball is too long and prevents the incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. It can also occur when the cornea or lens is abnormally shaped.
Symptoms and DetectionSome of the signs and symptoms of myopia include:
- Difficulty seeing distant objects, such as signs on the highway
A specialist in the clinic can diagnose myopia and other refractive errors through a
complete examination of the eyes.
TreatmentMyopia is treated, but not cured, with glasses and contact lenses. The only sure way to
eliminate the condition is through surgery. Laser refractive surgery (lasik Guadalajara) is intended to permanently change the shape of the cornea to improve refractive vision. Surgery can reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses and contact lenses. There are many types of refractive surgeries. You should discuss the
surgical options with the specialist.
