A Closer Look at Myopia

Myopia only applies to distant objects—nearby objects can still be seen clearly. A routine eye exam with our doctors can help diagnose and confirm myopia and explore your treatment options.

Myopia occurs when your eyeball is longer than normal or when your cornea is curved too steeply. When this happens, the light that should be focused on your retina focuses in front of your retina.

Some common symptoms of myopia can include:

Blurry vision when looking at distant objects
Eye strain
Having to squint often
Headaches

If you have mild myopia, you may not notice any symptoms at all. Regular eye exams can help detect myopia, and from there, you’ll be able to explore your treatment options.

Managing Your Myopia

Managing myopia is a combination of treatment methods to help ease the effects of the eye condition. Prescription glasses and contact lenses can help to restore your vision. In some cases, refractive surgery such as LASIK may be an option.

MiSight Contact Lenses

MiSight contact lenses are easy to fit, single-use lenses that are clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia when prescribed for children between 8 to 12 years old.

The MiSight lenses slow the elongation of your eye that’s involved in the myopia progression process and reduce the risk of myopia-related vision later in life.

Corneal Topography

Corneal topography is a vision-related photography technique that maps the surface of your cornea. It works as a 3D map of your eye to help our team find distortions and irregularities in your cornea.

Corneal topography can help us diagnose myopia and determine the next steps in managing your myopia. The scan only takes a few seconds but may require more scans to map your whole eye.

At Central Texas Eye Center, our goal is to prevent myopia from affecting your quality of life and slowing you down. Our experienced team provides solutions and treatments to help manage your myopia.
