Symptoms and Signs
Shortsighted individuals will struggle with tired eyes or have particular problems when driving or playing certain sports. They may suffer from eye strain. They could complain of headaches.
What Causes Nearsightedness?
Essentially, people become myopic when their eyes are too long. As a result of this they light rays bouncing off the object they are looking at, focus short of the retina and result in a blurred image.
Nearsightedness runs in families and usually appears in childhood. This vision trouble may stabilise at a certain point, although sometimes it declines with age. This is known as myopic creep.
Nearsightedness Treatment
Myopia may be corrected with onlinespecs, contact lenses or eye surgery.
