Take Control of Myopia With Complete Vision Care
Also known as shortsightedness, myopia is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry. In contrast, close objects are clear. Our O'Halloran Hill practice offers control strategies to help manage and slow progression, especially in children.
Understanding Myopia and Its Impact on Eye Health
Shortsightedness occurs when the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This can lead to difficulties in seeing distant objects. If left untreated, it can worsen over time and increase the risk of developing other severe eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment.
