Near Sightedness :
Nearsightedness is also called Myopia. In nearsightedness, people can see objects nearer to them clearly but cannot see objects clearly when they are far away. Generally, nearsightedness will be diagnosed at a young age and remains constant between the 20s and 40s. Nearsightedness occurs when the shape of the cornea is curved, then the light enters the eye, and the image will be in front of the retina instead of focusing directly on it. Nearsightedness develops in childhood, and it is genetic. Symptoms of nearsightedness are blurred vision when seeing long distances, closing eyes partially to see far objects, going very near to see objects like TV at home or blackboard in the classroom, frequent headaches, and straining of eyes. Some people will have blurry vision during nighttime. When you observe these symptoms, you have to consult an eye doctor or ophthalmologist, they perform routine eye tests and will confirm the condition. The doctor prescribes eyeglasses or contact lenses. Surgery will also be the option to correct this condition.
