Myopia, also called near-sightedness, is a common eye condition where distant objects appear blurry. At Focus Eye Clinic, Dr Mohini Modak helps patients understand the different types of myopia and their treatment options.
1.Simple Myopia – The most common type, usually developing during school years due to eye growth and increased screen time.
2.High Myopia – A severe form where the eye becomes too long, increasing the risk of retinal problems, glaucoma, and cataracts.
3.Pathological Myopia – A progressive condition causing structural changes in the eye and possible vision loss if untreated.
4.Night Myopia – Difficulty seeing clearly in dim light or at night.
5.Pseudo Myopia – Temporary blurred distance vision caused by eye strain or excessive near work.
Regular eye check-ups, proper screen habits, outdoor activities, and timely treatment can help control myopia progression and protect long-term vision.
