Myopia - Eye Conditions

Nearsighted people see well up close, but not at a distance. Distant objects are blurred, while near objects are in focus.

DESCRIPTION

The eyeball is longer than usual, making the eye "too powerful." The image is focused at a point in front of the retina. The higher the degree of myopia, the shorter the distance at which the nearsighted can see clearly.

SOLUTION

Myopia can be corrected using a concave lens that is thin in the centre and thick at the edge. This type of lens pushes the focus back onto the retina and restores good vision at any distance
