Myopia (Nearsightedness) at Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur
At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur, we believe in caring for your eyes just like you care for your loved ones. Our eyes help us see and enjoy the beauty around us, but sometimes they may develop problems like Myopia, which is also called nearsightedness.
This is a common condition, especially seen in children and young adults. If not managed on time, it can affect daily tasks like reading a board in class or driving on the roads of Jaipur. Let’s help you understand Myopia in a very simple way—what causes it, its signs, and how we treat it at our clinic in Jaipur.
What is Myopia?
With myopia, nearby objects are clear, but those farther away appear out of focus.For example, your child might read a book easily but may not be able to see the school board clearly. This vision problem happens when the eyeball is longer than usual, or the cornea bends light too much, causing blurry distance vision.
At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur, we see this commonly in school-going children and also in adults working long hours on screens.
Common Symptoms of Myopia
Recognizing early signs of Myopia helps in timely correction. If you or your child notices any of the following, it’s time to visit our eye experts in Jaipur:
- Blurry vision for distant objects like signboards or classroom boards
- Squinting to see clearly
- Frequent headaches, especially after screen time
- Eye strain or tiredness after reading or working
- Seeing double or hazy images sometimes
- Halos or glare around lights, especially at night
- Mild pain or discomfort in the eyes
- Difficulty with activities like watching TV or sports
Our experienced doctors in Jaipur provide gentle and thorough eye check-ups for all age groups.
What Causes Myopia?
Myopia happens due to the way light is focused inside the eye. The most common causes include:
- Longer shape of the eyeball – The most frequent reason.
- Too much curvature in the cornea – Light bends more than needed.
- Strong focusing power in the lens – Leads to blurry distance vision.
- Genetics play a key role—children with nearsighted parents are more prone to developing myopia themselves.
- Too much screen time or reading – Especially among children in Jaipur during online classes or mobile use.
- Less outdoor activity – Natural light helps keep the eyes healthy.
- Age-related changes – Rarely, it can occur in older age due to lens changes.
- Poor reading habits or dim lighting – May cause strain on the eyes.
At our clinic in Jaipur, we gently guide families about proper eye care to avoid worsening of Myopia in children and adults.
How Do We Treat Myopia at Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur?

Eyeglasses
Simple, effective, and the most common option. We provide high-quality eyeglasses with accurate prescriptions at our Jaipur clinic. Whether you need them all day or just for driving or reading the board, we’ve got you covered.
Contact Lenses
These are worn directly on the eyes and offer clear and wide vision. Many of our Jaipur patients prefer this for a more natural feel. We also teach how to care for them safely.
Ortho-K or CRT Lenses (Night Wear Lenses)
These unique lenses gently reshape your eye’s surface while you sleep, giving you clearer vision throughout the day. Ideal for school-going children in Jaipur or those not ready for surgery.
Refractive Eye Surgery
We offer advanced surgical options like:
Our eye surgeons in Jaipur guide you through each step with utmost care and comfort.
Phakic Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
For people with high Myopia or unsuitable corneas for LASIK, we implant a special lens in the eye. It's safe, effective, and done at our Jaipur center under expert supervision.
Intraocular Lens Implant
This surgical intervention entails the replacement of the eye’s natural crystalline lens with a synthetic intraocular lens to correct refractive errors such as myopia. It’s sometimes recommended for adults even before cataracts set in.
Vision Therapy (Especially for Children)
Customized eye exercises to help improve focusing and reduce strain. This is ideal for kids in Jaipur schools who show early signs of Myopia progression.
How to Prevent Myopia from Getting Worse?
While we may not always stop Myopia from developing, we can surely slow its progress. Our Jaipur eye care experts recommend:
- Regular eye check-ups – Early detection helps
- Cutting down screen time – Follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 mins, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
