How to correct short-sightedness

Short sightedness is a very common eye condition. Also known as myopia or near-sightedness, it affects up to one in three people at some point in their lives. The good news is, it’s easy to treat.

Read on to find out how to correct short sightedness and the factors to consider when deciding which treatment option may be best for you.

Inside the eye of a short-sighted patient To understand the treatments for short sightedness , we’ll start with some basic information about how the eye processes light.

In a healthy eye, light enters the eye and is focused at the back of the retina, which then sends signals to the brain that are interpreted as an image. In a short-sighted patient, however, the light rays do not meet in the correct place. When light enters the eye of a short sighted person, the rays fall short of the retina and instead focus in front of it. This causes distorted or blurry vision, particularly when looking at distant objects.
