Why am i getting myopia at 44 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nearsightedness developing at your age is usually from years of visual stress,lens thickening or from diabetes or cataracts. Do you do lots of computer work? Did your ophthalmologist or optometrist also advise you about your new nearsightedness?
