Myopia, better known as nearsightedness, is the most common reason for someone to wear prescription glasses or contact lenses. It occurs when the curvature of the cornea causes light that enters the eye to fall short of focusing onto the retina. This means that while the patient can see nearby objects, like a book or their cellphone screen clearly, anything further away will look blurry. The greater the distance, the blurrier they will appear.
If your child has myopia, you know how difficult it can be for them to care for glasses or contacts. Most kids hate wearing glasses, and this can be challenging when it comes to vision correction. Progressing myopia is more than an inconvenience; it can put children at risk of developing certain eye diseases.
Technology continues to come up with innovations that improve vision. Neurolens offers innovative eyewear that uses a contoured prism to alleviate and correct misalignment. Realigning the eyes helps to relieve eye pressure and reduce symptoms of digital eye strain. Some computer vision symptoms that can be alleviated using Neurolens include headaches, eye strain, and neck and shoulder pain.
