Myopia

Myopia is the technical term for short-sightedness. Someone who has myopia is called a myope.

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.
