Eye Focus
|
| Myopia Often called short-sightedness, is the condition where parallel beam of light from the distance, cannot be focused clearly onto the retina. Image needs to focus on the retina for clear vision to result. In people with myopia, the image is actually focused in front of the retina. Simply put, people with short-sightedness or myopia will have trouble seeing in the distance. Things such as road signs, number plates or even the t.v. may be out of focus. Signs or symptoms of Myopia: Because distance vision is difficult, people will usually have to strain their eyes or squint to see distance more clearly. This will result in symptoms such as headaches, eyestrain or fatigue. However, these symptoms doesn't mean you have myopia. The definitive diagnosis is an eye examination by your optometrist. How can myopia be corrected? Spectacles are probably the easiest way to correct myopia, and can also be the most fashionable. The lens diverge light entering the eye, allowing for distance objects to be imaged clearly onto the retina. Myopia can also be corrected using contact lenses. Contact lenses range from simple disposable lenses to more specialised lenses such as ortho-k lenses. My vision is getting worst every year!! What can I do? If your vision is changing every year, then an eye examination is recommended. By getting an eye examination by your optometrist, the optometrist can assess the cause for the poor vision. If it is due to myopia, then the optometrist will advise you accordingly. I can drive ok. Why do I need to wear glasses for driving? Sometimes your optometrist will advise you to drive with your glasses, even though you see or drive fine. Although your driving abilities are probably the same with or without glasses. Your reflex and ability to detect danger will be a lot quicker and much sooner. It is your reflex reaction that might save a life one day!!!
