The main symptom of myopia is blurry vision for items at a distance. As it often begins in childhood, children that experience myopia may describe trouble seeing the board at the front of the room. As a result, individuals may also experience headaches and squinting to attempt to see objects better.
There are a number of treatments to alleviate myopia. During childhood, when the vision is still changing, glasses or contacts are typically the most common method of treatment. LASIK and other vision correction treatments are also options for individuals with myopia. Learn more about the myopia treatment options available at Benjamin Eye Institute:
