Myopia Prevention and Management
We're excited about the San Diego Eye Clinic to
educate and encourage our patients to take
control of their myopia and prevent future
myopia-related eye diseases. Myopia, another term
for nearsightedness, refers to a condition in
which you can see objects up close clearly while
objects remain blurry off in the distance.
Nearsightedness develops if your eyeball is too
long or if the cornea, which is the clear front
cover of your eye, is too curved. This means the
light that enters your eye focuses incorrectly,
causing distant objects to appear blurred.

  condition in which distant objects appear blurry
  and out of focus.
• The causes of Nearsightedness are both genetic
  and environmental.

  reading, phone and other near work can cause the
  eye to lengthen, causing light rays to improperly
  focus on retina
