What should I do if my eyes are too nearsighted?

Common approaches to managing myopia include: 1. Wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses: A doctor will provide an appropriate eyeglass prescription to help correct vision. Regular follow-up exams are necessary to ensure the prescription remains accurate. 2. Laser surgery: Procedures such as LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) or PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) reshape the cornea to improve vision. These procedures must be performed at qualified ophthalmic clinics. Not everyone is a suitable candidate, and the risks and benefits should be evaluated. 4. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): These are specially designed rigid contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily improve vision during the day. They are suitable for adolescents but do not address the underlying problem. 5. Vision hygiene: Performing regular eye exercises, avoiding prolonged near work on electronic screens, and ensuring adequate outdoor activity can help slow the progression of myopia. Note: If vision deterioration is noticed, seek medical attention promptly.
