Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent eye condition where the eye does not bend or refract light correctly, leading to a blurry view of distant objects. This condition usually occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea excessively curved, causing light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on its surface.
Dry eyes can affect anyone but are particularly common among older adults. The condition can be chronic or temporary and can occur due to various reasons, including environmental conditions or specific medical conditions.
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease that results from diabetes complications. It affects the retina’s blood vessels and can cause vision loss or blindness.
A poorly-shaped cornea affects vision by reflecting light incorrectly. Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, helps resolve this issue by reshaping the cornea overnight, leaving the patient with clear vision the next day. The change is temporary and reversible.
Many children today are getting corrective lenses for nearsightedness. Research suggests almost 50% of school-aged children have myopia.
