Most people in the United States require some form of vision correction, like glasses or contacts, to see properly. If you're experiencing blurry vision or headaches (especially when you try to focus on something far away, like a movie screen), it's likely that you're dealing with nearsightedness, or myopia. At Spectacular Eye Care in Cranford, we're here to work with you to help you find the right myopia treatment.
Nearsightedness
Nearsightedness is common and is rarely a sign of a greater eye problem. People who are nearsighted can clearly see objects that are up close but struggle to see objects that are further away. If you're nearsighted, it's likely that you have no problem reading a book without glasses or contacts, but you may struggle to watch a TV show if you're seated across the room from the television. You may also notice that it's becoming harder to drive as you struggle to make out signs in the distance. Thankfully, nearsightedness is highly treatable, and you'll likely have a number of different treatment options to help you see clearly.
Nearsightedness Treatment: What to Expect
Many people experience nearsightedness, and treatment is straightforward. When you come in to see our optometrist for your eye exam, we'll talk with you about your symptoms. Be sure to mention if you're experiencing headaches, blurred vision, or other issues associated with nearsightedness.
Our optometrist will examine your eyes and assess your vision to determine whether you need treatment for nearsightedness. If you are nearsighted, we'll discuss your treatment options. You'll likely need glasses or contacts for myopia control. If you're unsure which option is the best fit for you, we'll work together to find the right myopia treatment for your needs.
After you've been diagnosed with nearsightedness, it's important to monitor whether your treatment is working correctly. If you continue to experience blurred vision or headaches after your myopia treatment, please reach out to us so that we can adjust your prescription.
