If you find yourself grappling with myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, it might be the opportune moment to explore treatment options designed to improve your visual acuity. Myopia is a prevalent ocular condition, typically diagnosed before the age of 20, impacting the ability to see distant objects clearly. For those seeking effective myopia treatment, a visit to our esteemed optometry office in either San Antonio or Castroville presents an opportunity to access innovative solutions tailored to your unique eye care needs—welcome to Medina Eye Care.
Comprehensive Myopia Treatment Options
Following a comprehensive examination conducted by our skilled optometrist and a formal diagnosis, a range of suitable treatment options can be presented. While some individuals with minor myopic conditions may not necessitate treatment, others seek proactive measures to address persistent blurry vision.
Glasses
Among the most prevalent and effective treatment options is the use of prescription eyeglasses to enhance vision. The requirement for glasses may vary depending on the degree of vision correction needed. Some individuals may choose to use glasses only in specific situations, such as driving or engaging in activities where clear distance vision is crucial.
Contact Lenses
Advancements in contact lens technology offer a viable and popular alternative, particularly for those averse to eyeglasses. The diverse array of contact lenses available caters to varying preferences and comfort levels. Depending on the severity of the condition, individuals can explore daily, weekly, or monthly contact lens options.
LASIK
For those seeking a more permanent solution, LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) stands out as a laser eye surgery option. This surgical procedure involves creating a corneal flap, reshaping the inner corneal tissue to optimize visual acuity, and then repositioning the flap. LASIK has proven to be a transformative solution for many individuals with myopia.
