Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Myopia Overview

About 30% of Americans live with myopia—also known as nearsightedness. This condition interferes with up-close vision but makes far-away objects appear blurry. This condition typically first appears in children around eight years old but can develop anytime in your life.

What Causes Myopia?

Myopia is caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea, which causes light entering the eye to not focus properly on the retina. In some cases, myopia is the result of stress, eyestrain, or health conditions.

Find Your Myopia Solution

Unfortunately, unless you opt for vision correction surgery, myopia is an irreversible condition—but that doesn’t mean you can never experience clear vision.

Many people choose glasses or contacts to control myopia symptoms. It’s an easy and effective option, but not everyone likes the way they look in glasses, nor do they want to deal with contact lens maintenance.

If you prefer a more permanent solution, consider highly successful vision correction procedures like LASIK, SMILE, PRK, EVO Implantable Collamer®️ Lens (ICL), and more.

Start with a consultation to discuss which one would be best for you.
