Myopia treatment in Metepec

Nearsightedness appears when care is sought because distant objects look blurry while near objects are seen clearly. It is one of the most common reasons for a vision consultation.

Nearsightedness is a refractive error in which the image is focused in front of the retina, generally because the eye is a bit longer than usual or the cornea has greater curvature.

Common symptoms:

• Blurry distance vision, for example when looking at signs or the chalkboard.
• Squinting the eyes, eyestrain, or headache when straining to see.

When to have it checked? An evaluation is advisable if distance vision is blurry or worsening, especially in children and young people of school age.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist and the optometrist perform the vision assessment. A professional exam makes it possible to measure the prescription and guide the most appropriate options for each person.
