Myopia, or near-sightedness is when someone can only see close up objects, and objects further away become blurry. Someone who has myopia is called a myope. Myopia occurs because the visual system has too much refractive power, causing an image at infinity to focus in front of the retina.
Low Myopia
Low Myopia is short-sightedness in the range of -3 dpt or below. Most people who develop Myopia throughout their lifetimes are prescribed with glasses in the Low Myopia range initially at around -1 dpt after experiencing Pseudomyopia.
The same basic principles for reversing Lens-induced myopia apply for all ranges of Myopia, however below -2 dpt usually no glasses are needed for close-up work. This means that improvement might slow down because positive stimulus can only come from Distance Vision.
