The left picture shows an example of how people with normal visual acuity see, the right picture shows how nearsighted people see.
Nearsightedness (Myopia) - is a visual disorder when people can see clearly near situated objects, but have a difficulty in seeing the distant ones. Myopia has become wide spread and you will find both children and adults among those who suffer.
With myopia light beams focus in front of retina and image becomes blurred.
This happens because of inconsistency between optical power of the eye and its length, and has two reasons:
Specialists determine 3 degrees of myopia:
Main considered reasons usually are:
Generally, myopia develops during childhood and becomes noticeable in school age. Children start to have difficulties in seeing distant objects, can’t distinguish letters and numbers written on a blackboard, and try to sit closer to the TV. While looking at distant objects people who suffer myopia often narrow their eyes.
Apart from difficulties in seeing distant objects, people who suffer myopia see badly in twilight: in the evening time people with myopia are hard to orient themselves on the street or drive a car.
To correct their eyesight people with myopia have to wear contact lenses or glasses, which correct light refraction but do not stop myopia progress.
If your eyesight is becoming worse and you have to change glasses it means that myopia is progressing. This happens because eyeball grows too long.
Progressing myopia is not just a harmless visual defect that can be eliminated with glasses; it is a disease with serious consequences.
Children suffer from progressive myopia mostly in the age from 7 to 15. Eyeball grows, blood vessels of retina grow longer which leads to deficient retina nutrition and as a result visual acuity becomes worse. There might appear holes, and that may cause retinal detachment. This is the most severe myopia complication when visual acuity is significantly reduced with possibility of total blindness.
A complex examination with high precision diagnostic equipment is offered at Fyodorov’s Clinic.

Specialist can prescribe more examinations if necessary.
Treatment
Here are main directions for myopia treatment:
Different methods of myopia correction and treatment were developed and successfully used at Fyodorov’s Clinic.
When pathological eye growth is stopped and preventive measures against complications are done, surgical correction of myopia may be performed.
Purpose of all refractional operations is to reduce refractive power of the myopic eye. Each of them has its own indications, and contraindications.
