Farsightedness is when your vision is good at seeing distances, but needs correction to see clearly the things that are close to you. Nearsightedness is when your vision is good at seeing things that are close to you, but needs correction to see clearly the things that are further away.
There are 3 types of eye defect MYOPIA(nearsightedness),HYPEROPIA(farsightedness),ASTIGMATISM.The 1st can be .
Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can be corrected using LASIK or PRK.
We use corrective lenses in spectacles. Near sight is corrected with diverging lenses and far sightedness with converging lenses.
In nearsightedness, the eyeball is elongated and the focal point thus falls short of the retina. This results in good vision for objects very close to the face, but poor vision at any significant distance (even beyond a few feet, for any level of nearsightedness. Conversely, in farsightedness, the focal point is never reached, before the retina. Thus, objects which are near cannot be seen clearly. However, distance sight is preserved.
