    Treatment for Inability to See Distance Clearly

    Myopic; It is considered a refractive error and is an eye defect that causes distant objects to be blurry and close objects to be seen clearly. Normally, the cornea and lens, the refractive structures of the eyes, accurately focus incoming light onto the retina. But in the case of myopia, the eyeball is longer than normal or the cornea is more curved than normal. In this case, the light focuses in front of the retina instead of at its focal point.

    People with myopia can see objects at close range clearly, while objects at a distance may appear blurry or indistinct. This varies depending on whether the eyeball is longer than normal or the cornea is more curved than normal.

    Myopia usually develops due to genetic factors and begins in childhood or adolescence. However, people who focus on near vision for long periods of time (such as computer users or book readers) may be at increased risk of developing myopia. Additionally, prolonged eye strain or improper use can also increase the risk of myopia.

    What are the Most Common Symptoms of Myopia?

    • Dizziness
    • Squint eyes
    • Sensitivity to the sun
    • Difficulty while driving
    • Watery and itchy eyes
    • Eye strain and headache
    • Blurred vision of distant objects
    • Difficulty driving at night
    • Inability to see the television or blackboard clearly

    Myopia usually begins in childhood or adolescence and can progress into adulthood. Although the exact cause of myopia is unknown, genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role.

    Methods such as glasses, contact lenses or laser surgery can be used in the treatment of myopia. Glasses and contact lenses are the most commonly used methods to correct myopia. Laser surgery is a method used to permanently correct myopia.

    Myopia is usually diagnosed during an eye exam by an ophthalmologist. Treatment options include glasses, contact lenses or laser surgery. Glasses or contact lenses combine with a defect that corrects the refractive error, providing clear vision. Laser surgery can permanently correct myopia by reshaping the cornea or placing a lens implant.

    Myopia Treatment Methods

    Myopia Treatment with Glasses or Contact Lenses: Glasses or contact lenses are the most commonly used methods to correct myopia. Eyeglasses or contact lenses provide clear vision by bringing properly focused light to the eye. An ophthalmologist can provide an appropriate prescription to correct myopia.

    Myopia Treatment with Laser Surgery (LASIK and PRK): Laser surgery can permanently correct myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. Laser surgery procedures such as LASIK and PRK correct the refractive error in the eye by ensuring the cornea is shaped properly.

    Myopia Treatment with Lens Exchange Surgery (RLE or ICL): Lens exchange surgery can correct myopia by placing an artificial lens implant inside the eye. Procedures such as refractive lens exchange (RLE) or phakic intraocular lens implantation (ICL) correct the refractive error in the eye, providing clear vision.

    Myopia Treatment with Orthokeratology (Night Lenses): In this method, special lenses used during the night temporarily change the shape of the eye cornea and help correct myopia during the day. However, this method must be used constantly, because its effect is temporary.

    It is important to consult an ophthalmologist to determine the best option to treat myopia. Every patient is different and the treatment plan should be individualized. It is also important to have periodic eye examinations to maintain eye health and achieve the best vision.

    Myopia is an eye defect that can be controlled with early diagnosis and treatment. If you are experiencing symptoms of myopia, it is important to consult an ophthalmologist. Your doctor will evaluate the condition of your eyes and recommend the most appropriate treatment option for you.
