Fix your short-sightedness and be free from glasses and contacts

Discover everything you need to know about short-sightedness and how we treat it below

Short-sightedness Overview

Patients who suffer from short-sightedness (myopia) struggle to see objects in the distance, they are out of focus and blurry. Short-sighted people can easily recognize things close to them. As a short-sighted individual, one has a negative dioptre count (for example, -3.0 dioptres).

Short-sightedness causes

Short-sightedness occurs when the eyeball is too long, or the refraction of the eye is too high. This means that the light doesn’t bundle on the retina. Instead, the focal point is formed before the retina. This creates a blurred image on the retina when you look into the distance. With a pair of glasses or contact lenses, the light is dispelled to hit the retina properly.

Short-sightedness treatments

We will individually and collectively decide on the best method for you at your initial consultation.

In the treatment of short-sightedness, we flatten the central cornea to correct the refractive error. We can use the following treatments to do this:

Lens surgery methods

If you have severe long-sightedness or other visual defects, we may recommend:

The appropriate method will depend on your dioptre count:

 up to approx. -10 dioptres  Femto-LASIK/LASIK
 up to approx. -6 dioptres  Femto-LASIK/LASIK/LASEK
 approx. -6 to -25 dioptres Phakic Lenses (ICLs)/Lens replacement
