Myopia

Standard Correction Choices

Single-vision soft lenses: Standard daily or monthly disposable lenses that correct regular distance blur.
Toric lenses: Specialized options that simultaneously correct myopia combined with astigmatism.
Gas-permeable (GP) lenses: Rigid lenses providing sharp focus for higher refractive errors. Key Facts About Corneal Curvature and Myopia

. Primary Cause: Most myopic eyes have a normal or near-normal corneal shape, but are simply too long from front to back. . . Steeper Corneas: Some individuals do possess naturally steeper corneas, which raise total eye power and can lead to or worsen myopia.

. The AL/CR Ratio: Eye doctors use the ratio of Axial Length (AL) to Corneal Radius (CR). A higher ratio strongly correlates with a greater degree of nearsightedness.

Peripheral Shape: Studies show that myopic eyes may feature differences in how the outer edges of the cornea flatten compared to non-myopic eyes.

If you are tracking your eye measurements or looking into refractive surgery, tell me if you know your recent keratometry readings or axial length values so I can provide more relevant details. Available All Branded Contact lenses in Marina Optics.
