It’s when you have difficulty in seeing distant objects but are still able to see near objects clearly. Myopia occurs when the shape of your eyes causes light rays to bend incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. This can also be called refractive error. What is Refractive Error? Refractive error occurs when the shape of one’s eyes doesn’t allow light to focus correctly on the retina. The cornea and lens work together to bend light into your retina so that you can see clearly. If one’s eyeball is too long from the front to back or the cornea is too curved or there are problems with the shape of your lens, light will bend away from or not focus directly on the retina. When light coming into your eye focuses in front of the retina instead of on it, looking at faraway objects to turn out fuzzy and even unrecognizable. Those that are nearsighted have a negative prescription of -3 for example and the higher the grade results in a stronger lens. How common is Myopia? In Canada more than 30% are myopic with trends suggesting this vision disorder is growing among school-aged children. Myopia tends to develop when you spend a substantial amount of time performing “near activities”. This would include reading, using smartphones and computers. There is a strong correlation with those that have myopia and those that regularly perform the above mentioned activities. Can it lead to blindness? Myopia is generally not a serious vision disorder and can be usually corrected through eyeglasses, contact lenses and sometimes surgery. However, there are rare cases of degenerative myopia where vision worsens at a more constant rate than what is considered “normal”. Degenerative myopia is the leading cause of legal blindness and it affects about 2% of the population. Causes Based on eye experts, they are unsure of the exact cause of myopia but they believe that it is caused through both hereditary genes and environmental factors. You can be born myopic but only develop myopia if you use your eyes for near activities such as reading and working on a computer. Symptoms There are some evident symptoms to look for if you find yourself developing or have myopia. Such symptoms include but not limited to: Faraway objects look blurred or fuzzy but close items appear clear Constant headaches Eye strain Squinting Tiredness when driving, playing sports or looking more than a few feet away Some symptoms of myopia that can occur in children can include but not limited to are: Persistently squinting Need to sit close to the television, movie screen or the front of the classroom Seem to be unaware of distant objects Blink excessively Rub his or her eyes frequently When to see a Optometrist Even though myopia is generally not a severe vision disorder and tends to develop over time there are some cases when seeing an optometrist is necessary. If any of these symptoms occur seek medical care: Sudden appearance of many floaters – tiny specks that seem to drift through your field of vision Flashes of light in one or both eyes A curtain-like shadow over your visual field How to prevent myopia from getting worse? Despite myopia being an inherited vision disorder it can also be developed through personal lifestyle. There are some preventative measures you can apply to both your routine and diet to help reduce the risks of myopia. Some of these routine and lifestyle changes that can be implemented to prevent myopia from getting worse are :
