Myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is a condition that affects the eye's ability to focus on objects at a distance. It occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in blurry vision when looking at distant objects, while close objects remain clear.

A comprehensive eye exam is an essential part of maintaining your overall health and well-being. It's not just about checking your vision and making sure your glasses or contact lenses are up-to-date.

If you want contact lenses, you must schedule a comprehensive eye exam first. An eye doctor will examine your eyes to determine your suitability for contact lenses. After contact lens fitting, you will receive proper wear and care instructions. Failing to clean and disinfect contact lenses can cause eye infections and other complications.
