What is the difference between near sighted and far sighted?

Near sightedness or myopia is a refractive defect of the eye lens in which the image is formed in front of the retina not on it. people with this defect can see closer objects clearly while distant ones are blurred..it may be due to excessive curvature of the eye ballFarsightedness or hypermetropia or hyperopia is a defect of vision in which closer objects appear to be blurred.it is because the eyeball is too short or the lens has incorrect curvature or the cornea is flat.If your far sited its easier for you to see things more clearly at a distance, if your short sighted its more clear when your closer to the object

What makes things float in outer space?

actually the space shuttle, the astronauts, etc. are NOT weightless and experiencing zero gravity. They are slowly, the key word being slowly, falling back toward the Earth. The Earth has an enormous gravitational force. the shuttle doesn't fly near far enough away from the Earth to escape it.


What type of lens is used to correct nearsighted vision?

Using concave lens the short sight problem could be rectified. Near sighted person cannot see the things far away. He can see things only so near to his eyes. The ray coming from the far object would form an image just before retina since the eye ball is elongated horizontally. So to make the image to move backward and fall on the retina, a concave lens is used to diverge the ray and finally the image would fall on the retina. Thus the remedy is possible with concave lens.


Why is a normal eye not able to see clearly objects placed closer than 25cms?

Light from objects that we see has to be focused by the eye to give a sharp image on the retina. Light from near objects is very divergent (spreading out), and the lens of the eye has to become very thick to focus it. As there is a limit to how thick we can make the lens, there is a near point beyond which we cannot focus.

Far sighted. you can tell this by this way: Near-sighted- you can sight nearby things. Far sighted- you can sight far away things.


What does it mean when someone is nearsighted?

Being diagnosed as being nearsighted means just exactly what it says. You can only focus on things close to you. Distant objects are out of focus. Being farsighted means just exactly the opposite of being nearsighted. Distant objects are in focus, but nearby things appear blurry.


What is near-sighted?

Near-sighted means able to see things clearly only when up close, that distant objects are less clear. Another term is "myopia." In the opposite condition, farsightedness (hyperopia), objects are clearer at a distance than they are up close.


What would a person suffering from Myopia be?

Myopia means nearsightedness. A person with myopia has trouble seeing close things clearly. Glasses help to be able to read things up close for people with myopia.

Why is the climate near the the equator usally warmer?

As you move away from the tropics, the angle of the sun increases and less of the energy of the sun reaches the surface to warm things up. Near the equator, the sun is most nearly directly overhead most of the time and the tropics (near the equator) get the most energy from the sun, thus keeping things warmer.
