General Info about Myopia |

Text 
Myopia or short sightedness is a vision problem experienced by almost one-third of the population. It is the inability of a person to see the distant objects clearly. For proper eyesight, the cornea (the clear window in front of the eye) and the lens (behind the pupil) must properly focus or "refract" light onto the retina (at the back of the eye). If the length or shape of the eye is not ideal, the light may get focused too early or too late leaving a blurred image on the retina.This problem is often discovered in school children and becomes progressively worse through adolescence and stabilize in early adulthood. |

Posted on: 11/11/2009 This is not due to any intake problem.
Firstly is there a family history of poor vision?
Secondly at that age the best prescribed opinion for you would be natural therapy.

My daughter is myopic(-1&-7.5). Should she wear glasses throughout the day or only while watching TV? When can she start wearing contacts(she is going to be 19 soon)?
