When your eyeball is too long or the cornea the protective outer layer of your eye is too curved, the light that enters your eye won’t focus correctly. Images focus in front of the retina, the light-sensitive part of your eye, instead of directly on the retina. This causes blurred vision. Let’s have a detailed discussion over it, post that we’ll be proceeding for the most effective treatment and guidance.

Nearsightedness (myopia) is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to bend incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Vitamins support eye health in many ways. Once myopia has stabilized, lasik and other laser eye surgery procedures are effective long-term treatments for nearsightedness. Let's have a detailed discussion over a call so that your issue can be addressed in a better way.

Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long, relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens of the eye. This causes light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, rather than directly on its surface. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

If you are really motivated to get rid of your glasses then you may need a consultation for this and a surgery can be recommended after your spectacle power has stabilized for a period of at least one year. Let's connect over a call for a detailed discussion.

Myopia occurs when the eye is longer than normal or has a cornea that is too steep. As a result, light rays focus in front of the retina instead of on it. In this case, you see near objects clearly, but distant objects will appear blurred. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
