CURE FOR SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS

Disease Description
Myopia or "shortsightedness" is a refractive defect of the eye in which the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus but in focus when looking at a close object.
Myopia presents with blurry distance vision, but generally gives good near vision. In high myopia, even near vision is affected, and patients cannot read without their glasses for distance.
