Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, can be corrected in several ways to improve distance vision. The most common methods include wearing glasses or contact lenses. These can be prescribed based on the severity of your myopia. Additionally, refractive surgery is an option for some individuals, which can permanently alter the shape of the cornea to correct the refractive error. The decision on whether to wear glasses or contact lenses constantly or only during specific activities depends on the degree of myopia and personal preference. For milder cases, you might only need them for activities that require clear distance vision, such as driving, watching a movie, or seeing a chalkboard at a distance. It's important to have regular eye exams to monitor the progression of myopia and to ensure that your corrective lenses or surgical options are appropriate for your current vision needs. read more >>
