Myopia
Myopia and other refractive abnormalities such as hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia are corrected with glasses, contact lenses or laser.
Patients with myopia cannot see clearly far.
Myopia is the refractive abnormality of the eye, in which light rays are not concentrated in the retina, as is normal to see clearly, but in front of it.
Myopia is due to increased length of the eye (larger eye than normal) or greater curvature of the cornea or increased strength of the lens of the eye.
But it may be due to diseases such as diabetes and cataracts that increase the refractive power of the lens.
What are the symptoms of myopia?
Refractive abnormalities can be manifested by blurred vision, headache, dizziness and diplopia. They can also create wrinkles on the sides of the eyes or in the mesophryo, since in their effort to see slightly closes the eyes and created the so-called foot of the goose.
The myops is unable to see clearly the objects that are far away and half-closes the eyes to do better.
An essential element of any surgical procedure, especially cosmetic surgery, is providing the patient with sufficient time for information.
How are myopia symptoms and signs corrected?
The correction of myopia is considered an aesthetic intervention by insurance companies although many of the problems are functional. Aesthetic Ophthalmology is the field of Ophthalmology that concerns the aesthetics of the eyes and the periocular area.
Thus, the Laser corrects myopia and the symptoms that result from it, such as blurred vision. Aesthetic aspects are also signs such as the change of the shape of the eyes, since myopic glasses warp the eyes making them smaller.
So, if an eye has 2 degrees myopia and the other eye 5 degrees, and the patient wears glasses, the lens of glasses that corrects the eye with 5 degrees will make it look smaller than the other eye resulting in asymmetry and aesthetic problem.
Even the myopia may show wrinkles, created by the occlusion of the eyelids and the tightening of the eye muscle sphincter, so that a myopia can be seen a little better.
Both wrinkles and the distorted shape of the eyes are aesthetic problems.
Laser for the correction of myopia is the solution to avoid these problems.
