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 is used to make distant things appear near?

Lenses, such as in binoculars or telescopes, are used to make distant things appear near by focusing and magnifying the light from those objects onto our eyes. This allows us to see distant objects with greater clarity and detail.

What is the significance of the near point in the context of vision and eye health?

The near point is the closest distance at which the eye can focus clearly. It is important in vision and eye health because it indicates the ability of the eye to accommodate and adjust focus for near objects. Changes in the near point can be a sign of age-related vision changes or eye conditions.

What role does the natural lens play in the human eye's ability to focus on objects at different distances?

The natural lens in the human eye helps to focus on objects at different distances by changing its shape to adjust the amount of light that enters the eye. This process, known as accommodation, allows the eye to see objects clearly whether they are near or far away.


What is near-sighted?

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.
