Nearsighted

Eyes are the window to the world. However, if you have nearsightedness, you certainly won't be able to see the world clearly.

In the medical world, nearsightedness is called nearsightedness or myopia.

What are the characteristics of nearsightedness?
Signs of myopia or nearsightedness generally begin to appear when you are 6-14 years old. However, people of all ages can still experience symptoms of this minus eye.

Characteristics that indicate you have nearsightedness include:

Blurred vision when looking at objects that are far away
Must squint or partially close eyelids to see distant objects clearly
The eyes feel sore and tired when looking at something for too long
Headache
Difficulty seeing when driving, especially at night (night blindness)

When should I see a doctor?
If your blurry vision interferes with your daily activities, you should immediately visit an eye doctor to get a definite diagnosis.

Apart from that, you need to immediately visit an eye doctor if you experience:

Suddenly a lot of floaters appeared
Flashes of light in one or both eyes
Shadows are like curtains over your field of vision

These are the characteristics of nearsightedness accompanied by signs of retinal detachment or retinal detachment. This condition is quite serious and requires immediate medical treatment.
