NEARSIGHTEDNESS & TIPS TO PROTECTING YOUR VISION
Nearsightedness is an eye condition in which you can see nearby objects clearly, but faraway objects appear fuzzy or blurry. It’s also called myopia. Nearsightedness is extremely common but treatable. Nearsightedness tends to run in families and may develop gradually or rapidly, often worsening during childhood and adolescence.
How to keep your eyes healthy? Let read on.
The most obvious symptom of nearsightedness is including:
- The need to squint or partially close the eyelids to see clearly
- Blurry vision when you look at faraway objects. Children may have trouble seeing the blackboard at school.
- Headaches caused by eyestrain
- Blink excessively

You can’t treat nearsightedness at home. However, some research suggests you may be able to slow its development. To help protect your eyes:
- Get your vision checked regularly.
- Manage chronic health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
- Wear corrective lenses prescribed by your eye doctor.
- Wear sunglasses with ultraviolet (UV) radiation protection.
- Use protective eyewear when doing risky activities, such as using toxic chemicals.
