Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. It occurs when the eyeball grows too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia typically develops during childhood and can progress over time, leading to higher prescriptions.
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the quality of your tears is insufficient to keep the surface of the eye adequately lubricated. While dry eyes might seem like a minor inconvenience, if left untreated, the condition can lead to discomfort, irritation, and even long-term damage to your eye health.
