Nearsightedness (Myopia)
| Myopia is a very common visual defect. The myopic person sees near objects well and distant objects badly. In the myopic eye the eyeball is excessively long and consequently, the focusing of images is in front of the retina, due to which far objects appear blurred. |

| Myopia results when the eyeball is too long (Fig.1) or when the cornea is too curved (Fig.2). This causes the focusing to occur in front of the retina, and consequently far objects appear blurred. |

|
| To correct myopia, and make the rays of light focus once again on the retina (Fig.3), one can use negative corrective lenses (Fig.4) or contact lenses (Fig.5). But for the permanent correction of myopia the most recent methodology with the excimer lasers technique is used (Fig.6). The laser operation is a procedure that flattens the corneal curve and brings back the focus of the image once again on the retina, thus definitely eliminating the myopic visual defect. The flattening intervention may also be achieved through the LASIK or PRK laser techniques. |
