Lühenägemisele

Lühenägemisele, also known as myopia or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry. This condition occurs when the eye focuses images in front of the retina, rather than directly on it. The eyeball may be too long, or the cornea and lens may be too curved, causing light to bend too sharply.

Symptoms of lühenägemisele include difficulty seeing faraway objects clearly, squinting to see distant things, and experiencing eye strain or headaches, especially after prolonged visual tasks. In children, it might manifest as sitting very close to the television or holding books unusually near.

The exact causes of lühenägemisele are not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. A family history of myopia increases an individual's risk. Excessive close-up work, such as reading, computer use, and smartphone usage, especially during childhood and adolescence, has also been linked to its development and progression.

Lühenägemisele can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. The most common treatments involve corrective lenses, such as eyeglasses or contact lenses, which help to refocus light onto the retina. In some cases, refractive surgery like LASIK may be an option for adults to correct their vision. While lühenägemisele cannot be cured, its progression can sometimes be managed with interventions like atropine eye drops or specialized contact lenses.
