Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision issue. It occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in blurred distance vision and difficulty seeing faraway objects clearly.
While myopia can be corrected with prescription glasses or contact lenses, many people wonder if it can be reversed.
Unfortunately, myopia can’t be reversed. However, various management options, such as prescription glasses, contact lenses, and laser eye surgery, can effectively correct the visual impairment associated with myopia. Certain treatments, like atropine eye drops or myopia control lenses, may also slow the progression of the condition in children.
