Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error that affects the way your eyes focus light. When you have myopia, light entering your eyes is focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it, causing distant objects to appear blurred. This condition is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially among children, and its long-term implications can be far-reaching.

In today's fast-paced, digital-centric world, the demands on our eyes and visual system have never been greater. From staring at computer screens for hours on end to constantly checking our smartphones, our eyes are under constant strain. This strain can lead to a host of uncomfortable symptoms, such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and even blurred vision.

Many people find regular contact lenses a dream come true for nearsightedness or farsightedness. Yet, traditional contacts might not work for those with more complex eye conditions. Specialty lenses offer a world of possibilities. They allow freedom from glasses and provide sharper vision.
