High myopia correction /ICL surgery (both eyes)

Overview

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a common visual condition that is generally detected before the age of 20. Myopia impairs your long-distance vision. Near items are easy to see, whereas distance ones, such as grocery store aisle markings or traffic signs, are difficult to notice. Myopia is becoming more common.

Myopia is an extremely frequent condition. According to the American Optometric Association, over 40% of Americans are myopic, a figure that is constantly increasing, particularly among school-aged children. This tendency is expected to continue in the next decades, according to eye specialists.

Myopia is usually a mild nuisance that may be rectified with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. However, in rare situations, a progressive kind known as degenerative myopia develops, which may be extremely dangerous and is a main cause of legal blindness. Only approximately 2% of the population suffers from degenerative myopia. It is thought to be hereditary and is more frequent in Jews, Japanese, Chinese, and individuals from the Middle East.
