Understanding Myopia and Amblyopia
Myopia (Nearsightedness): Myopia is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia is one of the most common vision issues globally, affecting individuals of all ages. Left untreated, progressive myopia can lead to complications like retinal detachment or glaucoma. Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Amblyopia is a condition where one eye has reduced vision due to abnormal visual development during childhood. It often results from conditions like strabismus (eye misalignment), a significant refractive error in one eye, or a physical blockage like a cataract. If untreated, amblyopia can lead to permanent vision loss in the affected eye.
Symptoms and Impact
Myopia Symptoms: Blurred vision when looking at distant objects. Frequent squinting or eye strain. Difficulty seeing in low light or at night (night myopia). Headaches caused by visual strain. Amblyopia Symptoms: Poor depth perception. Eye misalignment or noticeable favoring of one eye. Difficulty focusing or maintaining consistent visual attention. Reduced ability to see clearly despite corrective lenses. Both conditions can significantly impact a person’s learning, productivity, and quality of life if not diagnosed and treated early.
