Myopia, also called nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is a very common vision condition where a person can see the near objects clearly, but the objects in the distance appear blurry.

What Ophthalmologist are Predicting

Myopia is a big problem in our modern world. According to the study done by American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), about 26% of the world population has myopia in 2016. By 2050, AAO says there will be 59.6% of the world population with myopia and expects myopia to be the leading cause of blindness.

Common Belief about Myopia Treatment

Common belief is that only way to correct poor distance vision is to wear glasses or contact lenses or get a Lasik surgery to correct the refractive error. Although your eye doctors might have their good intention to help you see better, these methods generally do not provide long-term solution for the myopic state of the eye and also weaken your autonomic visual system – eye muscles, the visual center in the brain, and mind.

The most noticeable symptom of myopia is blurry vision when you look at faraway objects. Adults may not be able to see street signs clearly while driving. Parents usually find out about their child might be developing myopia when the child start having trouble seeing the blackboard or whiteboard at school; or saying, “Things look blurry, I cannot see that far.”

Other signs of myopia include

• Squinting to see
• Straining to see
• Frequent headaches
• Eye fatigue

Conventional optometry regards myopia as a hereditary problem contrary to evidence to suggest other factors, as listed below. Children do inherit their parents’ personality traits and visual habits, but not the myopia itself. Remember vision occurs mainly in your brain and mind.

• Visual strain – staring, squinting
• Mental and emotional causes

What causes further deterioration of myopia

• Corrective lenses – glasses and contact lenses
• Prolonged closeup work or computer screen time

Complications of Myopia

According to Dr. Bates, wearing corrective lenses to correct your myopia puts you in a vicious cycle where your vision can get worse due to the visual strain it causes. Visual strain in turn could cause your eyeball to elongate more and your retina to become thinner. Thinned out retina can increase the risk for retinal detachment, vitreous detachment, early development of cataracts and glaucoma, all of which can lead to vision loss.

High myopia is a severe form of myopia where the eyeball continues to grow and becomes very long from front to back.  One milimeter in change to the axial length of the eyeball is roughly equal to 3 diopters in power. (i-see.org)

Sadly, many myope’s (even in their 20’s) near-vision eventually get affected as well when they wear glasses for many years, ending up with bifocals or progressive lenses.

Conventional Correction for Myopia

Glasses, contact lenses, or Lasik surgery is the typical solution most people sought after or promoted by conventional eye professionals. These methods do not fix the real causes of myopia thus you typically end up with stronger and stronger prescriptions. They also do not change the elongated state of the eye, nor considering the effects your mind-body-emotions have on your vision.

Testimonial

A testimonial from one of my students – 48 years old, who wore glasses since 9 years old and was afraid to drive for many years; she improved her sight from -8D to -6D in 3 weeks.

“Right now, driving is fun (-6 diopters) because I have these beautiful views of road and landscape in my mirrors. It shocked me at first. I pulled off the road and cried for awhile. I am also suddenly aware of distant landscape. In the past, I kept my “eyes” on the road about 10 feet ahead and follow the lines has been my method of driving.”

In 5 weeks, her vision improved to about -4.5D. She hopes to be 20/20 in the next few months.
