Minus or nearsighted eyes are usually experienced by young children, even this condition may occur in children aged 8-12 years.

Can the minus eye be cured?
Basically, vision is one ability that will decrease with age. So naturally, over time you will experience vision problems in the old days. However, vision problems can also occur due to various other risk factors such as genetic disorders and reading habits.
Nearsightedness or minus eyes actually occur because the eyeball is too long or the cornea is curved too steeply, so the light that should fall right on the retina is in front of the retina of the eye.
During this time the minus eye is handled by the recommendation of the use of glasses or contact lenses. Glasses or contact lenses are just tools that help your eyes get back to seeing clearly. However, it does not reduce the minus in your eyes.
How to reduce eye minus
If you have a large minus number in your eyes, then you can overcome the minus eye in a medical way. Laser surgery is a medical action that can reduce eye minus.
This action uses a laser beam that is exposed directly to the eye to repair an abnormal cornea. There are three types of laser surgery that you can do, namely:
- Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), namely a laser beam that is intended to remove a thin layer on the surface of the cornea, to change shape and refocus the light that enters the eye.
- Laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK), almost the same as the CRP procedure, but in this medical action uses alcohol to loosen the surface of the cornea, so that the cornea is easier to shift or change its position.
- Laser in situ keratectomy (LASIK), this procedure is almost the same as LASEK, but LASIK changes the shape of the cornea in order to capture light normally.
Of the three medical measures, LASEK or LASIK is a method that is often done and feels more effective in reducing eye minus.
