Nearsightedness

About Nearsightedness or Myopia

The eye doctors at Outlook Eyecare offer diagnosis and treatment of nearsightedness or myopia for patients of all ages. Nearsightedness or myopia is a common refractive vision problem that results most often from the axial length of the eye being too long and/or the curvature of the cornea being too steep. This results in light and images being focused in front of the retina. A patient who has nearsightedness or myopia typically has difficulty seeing things at distance with this type of common refractive eye problem.

Correction & Treatment of Nearsightedness

At Outlook Eyecare our eye doctors can correct vision problems caused by nearsightedness or myopia with eyeglasses, contact lenses and laser eye surgery such as LASIK and if you have a cataract, by implanting a lens implant (IOL).
