  eye in which near objects are seen clearly, but
  distant objects do not come into proper focus.

  starts during childhood and continues to increase
  until the individual reaches the age of 20.

Will I have to wear glasses?

• You may need glasses for distance only or full
  time as the requirement to enable you to see more
  clearly. If your condition warrants, your doctor
  will prescribe corrective lenses for you. You can
  only have them for certain activities, like
  watching television, going to a movie or driving
  a car.

Will glasses or contact lenses cure Myopia
(Nearsightedness)?

• Eyeglasses or contact lenses  visually correct
  the problem by altering the way the image enters
  your eyes, but they do not cure Myopia
  (Nearsightedness). At present time, there are no
  proven cures for Myopia (Nearsightedness).Surgic
  al procedures like LASIK, PRK or SBK or lens
  implants may eliminate your need for glasses or
  contact lenses.

  have problem seeing the whiteboard, the movie
  screen, the television set or other distant
  objects.When your doctor gives you a
  comprehensive eye examination, he or she will
  involve tests to determine if there is a
  prescription for Myopia (Nearsightedness).

How will Myopia (Nearsightedness) affect
someone's lifestyle?

• If contact lenses or glasses are prescribed, it
  can take up to 2 weeks to adjust to seeing
  clearly with them.Some people with Myopia
  (Nearsightedness) may find that they are
  prohibited from some occupations (for example,
  police officers or fire fighters), due to their
  inability to see properly if their glasses fall
  off. Laser surgery may be useful in these above
  mentioned cases.Contact lenses are proven to be
  very useful for correcting Myopia
