Er, "cataracts" are NOT the same as "myopia" ...
i would syggest a laser surgery. For example my aunt's husband goes there once in 4years and he doesn't need glasses and grandpa, who is 79yrs old used glasses til few months ago they found Cataract from his eyes and then thay made laser surgery to him and he doesn't even need glasses anymore. so it's powerful way. You should just go to see doctor and you'll get a chance to get glasses, contacts or surgery
Er, "cataracts" are NOT the same as "myopia."
In fact, "cataract surgery" (including use of thermals and lasers) is
not the same as PRK/LASEK or LASIK to correct myopia and even some astigmatism.
They are and involve very, very, very
different issues, approaches and technologies entirely.
Heck, there are many, many, many different procedures for the eye in general, with
different doctors.
In general, everyone develops cataracts (almost naturally) over time, but they vary in degree to the point that only some actually need surgery.
A lot has to do with how the eye naturally develops defenses against over exposure, and people vary in how they react over their lifespan in that regard.
Some are accelerated and inherit by family history at birth or at some, earlier ages than normal.
Myopia (near-sightedness) is completely different, as is astigmatism.
They are about focal points and shapes, respectively, of the eye and/or lenses.
They too vary by family history, possibly at birth or early on, and the intensity varies.
Ironically, the earlier you address it, the better -- especially with contacts or corrective surgery.
My wearing contacts as a teenager actually and instantly stopped my myopia from getting worse, and quickly curbed the astigmatism I was just starting to develop when I first adopted them.
Many of my doctors were worried I was going to be legally blind by adulthood with that combination.
Instead, I can be corrected to at least 20/20 in both eyes today, if not 20/15 or 20/10 in my right eye.
My left eye has the worst myopia of the two and has a rare astigmatism (I require a custom cut contact lens) that can't be perfectly corrected, so it's typically only 20/20.
