Vision plays a vital role in our daily lives, and even the slightest defect in the eye can disrupt normal functioning and reduce quality of life. At Skipper Eye Q, a trusted eye hospital in Nigeria, we specialize in diagnosing and treating various eye defects and their corrections using the latest technology and international standards of care. Our goal is to restore and enhance vision through personalized treatments, ranging from corrective lenses to advanced laser procedures.

Common Eye Defects

Understanding common eye defects is the first step to effective treatment. At Skipper Eye Q, we often treat the following:

1. Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Myopia is a condition where close objects are clear, but distant objects appear blurry. It occurs due to the elongation of the eyeball or excessive curvature of the cornea, causing light to focus in front of the retina.

Correction:

  • Prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses with concave lenses

  • LASIK or SMILE laser eye surgery

  • Implantable contact lenses (ICL) for high-degree myopia

2. Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

In hyperopia, distant objects may be seen clearly, but close ones are blurry. This occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea is too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina.

Correction:

  • Convex lenses in eyeglasses or contacts

  • Refractive surgery such as LASIK, PRK, or lens replacement

3. Astigmatism

Astigmatism is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, resulting in blurred or distorted vision at all distances.

Correction:

  • Cylindrical lenses in eyeglasses

  • Toric contact lenses

  • Refractive surgery including customized LASIK or SMILE

4. Presbyopia

A natural part of aging, presbyopia is the gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus on close objects due to decreased elasticity of the lens.

Correction:

  • Bifocal or progressive eyeglasses

  • Multifocal contact lenses

  • Surgical options like lens replacement or corneal inlays
