Nearsightedness occurs when the cornea is too curved or the eyeball is longer than normal, causing light to focus in front of the retina, resulting in distant images becoming blurry. Currently, two scientifically proven solutions to treat myopia are nearsightedness surgery and Ortho-K glasses.

There are two mechanisms used in myopia surgery: placing a Phakic intraocular lens or using a laser to change the corneal curvature to eliminate nearsightedness in the eye (ReLEx SMILE, Femtosecond Lasik). Depending on the needs, eye condition, and financial ability of each patient, the ophthalmologist will prescribe surgery with different methods.

Ortho-K lenses are hard contact lenses that are worn while sleeping to reshape the patient's cornea, thereby temporarily eliminating nearsightedness during the day.
