Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error that affects the ability to see distant objects clearly while objects up close remain in focus. This condition 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. As a result, individuals with myopia experience blurred vision when looking at distant objects, but can see nearby objects clearly.

At Shree Ram Hospital, our team of experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to accurately assess the degree of myopia and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient. Our comprehensive eye examinations may include visual acuity tests, refraction tests, and evaluations of the overall health of the eyes.

Treatment options for myopia may vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual patient needs. For mild to moderate myopia, prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses are commonly recommended to correct vision and improve clarity. These corrective lenses help to refocus light rays onto the retina, allowing for clearer vision at all distances.

In addition to traditional corrective lenses, Shree Ram Hospital also offers specialized treatments for myopia, such as orthokeratology (ortho-k) and refractive surgery. Ortho-k involves the use of specially designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea temporarily, providing clearer vision without the need for eyeglasses or contacts during the day. Refractive surgery, such as LASIK or PRK, reshapes the cornea permanently to correct refractive errors and reduce dependence on corrective lenses.

Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized care and effective treatment options to help individuals with myopia achieve optimal vision and improve their quality of life. Whether you are experiencing mild or severe myopia, you can trust Shree Ram Hospital to deliver exceptional eye care services tailored to your unique needs.
