What is Myopia?

Myopia is often referred to as short-sightedness or nearsightedness, which means you can see the objects perfectly well when they are close, but you can not see things clearly when they are far. It is a common eye condition that may develop rapidly or gradually. It occurs when the light rays refract incorrectly and do not fall on your retina.

Most of the people are aware of the direct connection between the eye strain and the progression of myopia. People who work in from of computers, laptop screens or mobile screens for an extended period, are more likely to develop the symptoms of myopia. Apart from this, myopia is common in people who sew a lot, craft or who are voracious readers. Many experts say eye strain is not only the reason behind the progression of myopia, but it is a contributing factor to it.

  • Headaches after working in front of screens, which is caused by eye strain
  • Difficulty seeing when you drive, especially at night (known as night myopia)
  • A habit of partially close  the eyes to see clearly
  • Rubbing the eyes frequently

What are the Risk Factors?

Children and adolescents are more likely to get the symptoms of myopia as compared to elderly people as they spend too much time in front of screens. But there are some other factors also, which include-

  • Genetics: Myopia is usually run in families. If one or both parents are nearsighted, your risk of developing the condition is higher.
  • Environmental Conditions:  As per some studies, lack of spending time at outdoors may also increase the risk of developing myopia
