How is nearsightedness treated?
Most people who are nearsighted use eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct their vision.
Surgery may be an option for some people. Options may include LASIK, PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), and artificial lens implants. The goal of surgery is to help you see more clearly without glasses or contacts. Most people will see better after surgery.
Some people with mild nearsightedness may not need to correct their vision. Nearsightedness won't affect the health of your eye. It won't get worse just because you don't wear glasses or don't have surgery.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
