Presbyopia
About
Presbyopia is a condition which makes it difficult to focus on close objects. With age, by the mid-forties, people experience blurred vision at close range, such as when reading, sewing or working on a computer.
Presbyopia is not a disease, as it is a result of the natural ageing process of the eye, and it cannot be prevented.
Hypermetropia (far-sightedness)
About
Far-sightedness, also known as Hypermetropia, is a common refractive condition of the eye in which vision is better for distant objects than for near objects.
It results from the eyeball being smaller than average, causing images to be focused behind the retina. In hypermetropia, the light is focused too far back in the eye, behind the retina, which causes things to look blurred close-up.
Many very young children have mild hypermetropia that gets better by itself as they grow older.
Myopia (near-sightedness)
About
Myopia is a common refractive condition commonly referred to as near or short sightedness. People with Myopia can see near objects clearly but distant objects are blurry. Myopia occurs when the cornea and lens focus the light in front of the retina instead of exactly on it, usually because the eye is a little larger than it should be.
Astigmatism
About
Astigmatism is a refractive condition in which the eye’s optical system is incapable of forming a point image for a point object (images are misconstrued).
