What is Myopia (Nearsightedness)?
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, affects approximately 30% of India's population. In Gurugram's tech-driven environment, the prevalence is even higher due to prolonged screen time and indoor lifestyles.
The condition occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. While glasses and contact lenses can correct vision, permanent solutions like LASIK and ICL are increasingly popular among young professionals seeking freedom from spectacles.
🏙️ Context in Delhi
Gurugram's IT and corporate hub sees high myopia rates among professionals due to extended screen time. The city's top eye hospitals offer advanced specs removal procedures with latest technology like Contoura Vision and SILK.
