Myopia is better known as nearsightedness. It is a common type of refractive error that may lead some patients to consider having refractive surgery in Hoffman Estates. An ophthalmologist will diagnose a patient with myopia if he or she can see close objects more clearly than distant objects. Ophthalmologists frequently treat patients who have developed eye strain and headaches because of the difficulty in focusing on distant objects.
