Understanding Myopia & Your Treatment
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up vision remains clear. The severity of myopia can vary, often leading to significant challenges in daily life, such as difficulty driving or recognising faces from afar.
At the Fadi Kherdaji Eye Clinic, we offer advanced treatments to correct myopia, helping you regain sharp distance vision without glasses or contact lenses. Explore our cutting-edge laser eye surgery and lens implant solutions designed to give you long-lasting clarity and freedom.
What Causes Myopia?
Factors like excessive screen use, prolonged reading, and limited outdoor time can contribute to myopia by altering how the eye develops and processes light.
Normal Eye
For clear vision, light must focus precisely on the retina at the back of the eye. In a healthy eye, the cornea and lens work together to bend (or refract) light so it reaches the macula—the area responsible for the sharpest vision. This process, called refraction, is measured in diopters (D). When refraction is balanced at zero diopters, objects appear sharp and in perfect focus.
Eye With Myopia
Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the eye is elongated or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This leads to blurred distance vision while close-up objects remain clear. Myopia can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or laser surgery, which reshape the cornea to refocus light properly onto the retina.
Who Is Myopia Treatment For?
Myopia can affect people of all ages, from children to older adults, and its severity can vary widely. Some individuals are born with nearsightedness, while others develop it over time due to factors such as excessive screen use, prolonged reading, or genetic predisposition.
Mild cases may only require glasses or contact lenses, but higher degrees of myopia can significantly impact daily life. For those seeking long-term freedom from corrective eyewear, advanced vision correction options like laser eye surgery or lens implants offer a lasting solution for clear, distance vision.
How Can Myopia Be Treated?
If you have nearsightedness (myopia) and are looking for a permanent vision correction solution, laser eye surgery offers a highly effective and proven treatment. Modern laser technology has helped countless patients regain clear distance vision, eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
For many, glasses and contact lenses can be inconvenient—whether for daily activities, sports, or professional requirements. At Fadi Eye Clinic, we provide expert laser eye treatments using the latest technology, backed by years of experience in vision correction. Our advanced diagnostic and surgical methods ensure precision, safety, and exceptional results.”
SMILE Pro
Benefits Of Using Smile Pro
SMILE Pro is a state-of-the-art laser eye surgery designed to correct myopia with unmatched precision and minimal recovery time. Unlike traditional LASIK, SMILE Pro uses a keyhole incision technique, preserving more corneal strength and reducing the risk of dry eyes. This advanced, flap-free procedure is ideal for those with an active lifestyle or thin corneas, offering long-lasting vision correction with maximum comfort and safety.
LASEK
Benefits Of LASEK
LASEK provides a long-term solution for vision correction while also benefiting those with thinner corneas or dry eyes. This advanced laser procedure reshapes the cornea’s surface with precision, improving focus at all distances—near, intermediate, and far—while reducing or eliminating the need for glasses. Ideal for individuals seeking permanent correction, LASEK offers sharp, clear vision and preserves more of the corneal structure.
Femto-LASIK
Benefits Of Using Femto-Lasik
Femto-LASIK is a highly precise and advanced laser eye surgery designed to correct myopia with exceptional accuracy. Using a femtosecond laser, a thin corneal flap is created before reshaping the cornea to restore clear vision. This bladeless technique ensures greater safety, faster healing, and minimal discomfort. Ideal for patients seeking a customised, proven, and long-lasting solution, Femto-LASIK offers rapid visual recovery.

FAQs About Myopia
We’ve gathered the most important astigmatism FAQs—covering everything from its causes and symptoms to the best treatment options available. Find out why so many patients in Cheltenham and South Wales are choosing advanced vision correction for clearer, sharper sight!
What is myopia, and why does it cause blurry vision?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in blurry distance vision while close-up objects remain clear.
What are the best treatments for myopia in Cheltenham & South Wales?
At the Fadi Kherdaji Eye Clinic, we offer advanced SMILE Pro, Femto-LASIK, and multifocal lens treatments to correct myopia and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Can laser eye surgery permanently fix myopia?
Yes, laser procedures like SMILE Pro and Femto-LASIK permanently reshape the cornea, correcting myopia and providing long-lasting clear vision. However, age-related changes like presbyopia may still develop later in life.
Is SMILE Pro better than LASIK for myopia?
SMILE Pro is a minimally invasive, flap-free laser procedure that preserves more corneal strength and reduces the risk of dry eyes. Femto-LASIK, on the other hand, is highly customisable and effective for a wider range of prescriptions. The best option depends on your eye health and lifestyle.
Am I a good candidate for myopia surgery?
Most adults with stable prescriptions and healthy eyes are suitable for laser eye surgery. A comprehensive eye exam at Fadi Eye Clinic will determine the best treatment for your needs.
How long does it take to recover from SMILE Pro or Femto-LASIK?
Recovery is quick, with most patients experiencing clearer vision within 24-48 hours. SMILE Pro generally has a faster healing time due to its minimally invasive nature.
Can children or teenagers get myopia surgery?
Laser eye surgery is not recommended for children or teenagers, as their eyes are still developing. However, myopia control options, such as special contact lenses or glasses, can help slow progression in younger patients.
Does myopia get worse over time?
Myopia can progress, particularly in childhood and teenage years. However, once vision stabilizes in adulthood, laser correction can provide long-term clarity without the need for glasses.
