Myopia is one of the Most Common Eyes Related Problems in India; Its Symptoms and Effective Treatments

One of the most common eye problems across the world is nearsightedness, which is also sometimes called myopia. More than 32% people in United States America (USA) suffer from nearsightedness. The ability to not see the far object but can clearly see near objects is known as nearsightedness.

Some of the common symptoms of nearsightedness are headaches and squinting of the eye, which go away with effective treatment. The nearsightedness can be easily treated through corrective lenses, refractive surgery, and corneal refractive therapy.

Based on the ability of the patients to see far away object, the eye experts or doctors may recommend him/her to permanently wear the corrective lens or use them while performing certain tasks such as driving. Instead of eyeglasses, certain can use of contact lens. The contact lens can cause irritation on the surface of the cornea for very few patients. If the patient suffers from such complications, the contact lens should not be used at all.

For the purpose of reducing refractive errors caused by nearsightedness, the corneal refractive therapy or orthokeratology is used.  In the corneal refractive therapy, the doctor effectively creates gas permeable contact lens, which temporarily reshapes the cornea of the eye, to effectively reduce the refractive errors and cause improved vision in cases of nearsightedness.

One of the major disadvantages of corneal refractive therapy is that the new shape of the cornea is stable but not permanent. Another disadvantage of corneal refractive therapy varies patient to patient and could take about 4 to 6 weeks to show considerable improvement in vision. The success rate of corneal refractive therapy is about 65% that is far less than another refractive surgery known as Lasik, where the success rate is about 98%. Apart from high success rate, another advantage of Lasik is that the vision correction is permanent.

It was reported that Lasik laser surgical procedures were highly effective in the permanent treatment of nearsightedness.
