As your distance vision gradually blurs, you may not immediately notice that your sight is less clear than others’. You might find yourself squinting to improve focus, which can often lead to headaches.

Myopia Action Month

Myopia Action Month raises awareness about myopia (short-sightedness) and its impact on eye health. Myopia is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. This month, our focus is on encouraging regular eye check-ups and promoting strategies to slow down the progression of myopia. There is an increasing prevalence of myopia worldwide, particularly among young people. Increased screen time, reduced outdoor activities, and genetic predisposition contribute to this rise.

What is a cataract? Continuation

Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually affect vision. At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye’s lens. You may not notice any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens. More clouding changes the light passing through the lens. This may lead to symptoms you notice more. Fortunately, cataract surgery is generally a safe, effective procedure. (Source www.mayoclinic.org)

What is a cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, which is typically clear. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car at night or see the expression on a friend's face. (Source www.mayoclinic.org)
