Myopia Treatment

Comprehensive Myopia Treatment at Aktif International Hospitals

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error that affects the ability to see distant objects clearly. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. At Aktif International Hospitals, we offer comprehensive treatment for myopia provided by experienced ophthalmologists and refractive surgery specialists. Our goal is to provide personalized care to effectively manage myopia, correct vision, and improve the quality of life for our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is myopia, and what are the common symptoms?

Myopia is a common vision condition characterized by difficulty seeing distant objects clearly while near vision remains unaffected. Common symptoms of myopia may include:

Blurry distance vision: Difficulty focusing on objects in the distance, such as road signs, movie screens, or chalkboards.
Squinting: Straining the eyes or squinting to see distant objects more clearly.
Eye strain: Eye fatigue, discomfort, or headaches after prolonged periods of reading, driving, or using digital devices.
Difficulty seeing at night: Reduced visual acuity or increased glare or halos around lights when driving or navigating in low-light conditions.

How is myopia diagnosed, and what are the treatment options?

Myopia is typically diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination conducted by an eye care professional. The diagnosis may include a visual acuity test, refraction assessment, and measurement of the eye’s axial length to determine the degree of nearsightedness.

The treatment for myopia aims to correct vision and reduce dependence on corrective lenses. Treatment options for myopia may include:

Eyeglasses: Prescription eyeglasses with lenses that correct nearsightedness by focusing light rays directly on the retina, providing clear distance vision.
Contact lenses: Soft or rigid gas-permeable contact lenses that sit directly on the cornea to correct myopia and provide clear vision without the need for eyeglasses.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Specialized contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily, allowing for clear vision without corrective lenses during the day.
Refractive surgery: Minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) or PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), to reshape the cornea and correct myopia permanently.
Implantable lenses: Phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) or refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery to implant artificial lenses inside the eye to correct myopia in patients who are not candidates for laser surgery.
