Nearsightedness
Nearsighted individuals typically have problems seeing well at a distance and are forced to wear glasses or contact lenses. The nearsighted eye is usually longer than a normal eye, and its cornea may also be steeper. Therefore, when light passes through the cornea and lens, it is focused in front of the retina. This will make distant images appear blurred. Cullom Eye & Laser Center offers several refractive surgery solutions available to correct nearly all levels of nearsightedness.
