What are the advantages of myopia?
Controlling myopia early on can significantly reduce your risk of developing many eye conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment – all of which can threaten your vision.
Is it better to be nearsighted or farsighted?
Lenses with a negative or minus power will extend the focus further back and give a myopic person their best vision. A person who is far-sighted has an easier time seeing far away than up close. This results in either better vision far away or sometimes just less strain to see far away.
