That is usually caused by irregular curvature of the cornea and referred to as astigmatism. It is a very common eye condition and can be corrected with lenses or surgery.

If the eyeball is too long images are focused in front of the retina and the result is?
When the light actually reaches the retina the image is blurred (except when looking at close objects when the image is focused on the retina and looks clear. The condition is known as short-sightedness.
What is the innermost layer of the eye called?
The inner rear surface of the eye which contains photoreceptors it called the retina.
What is the sensitive surface of the eye that acts like the film in a camera?
It's actually called the lens, which is in the cornea.
What causes blurred vision after head trauma?
This is something for your doctor to diagnose. There is a good chance that you have a concussion. It is also possible that the impact damaged the optic nerve or retina, but concussion is more likely. This is a potentially serious condition (remember Natasha Richardson?) Don't delay.
What is the light sensitive membrane of the eye called?
a flat, colored, ring-shaped membrane of the eye is called the iris
What is the condition in which some portions of an image are in focus on the retina and other portions are blurred is called?
Its the myopia

What is the name of the se rious condition of the retina?
Macular degeneration is a well-known serious condition of the retina.
What is the back of the eye called?
Your Retina
Why are some words sharp and others blurred when reading is to do with the retina of the eye?
The sharpness or blurriness of words when reading is influenced by the focus of light on the retina. When light rays converge accurately on the retina, it creates a sharp image. However, if the light rays don't focus properly on the retina, due to factors like refractive errors or eye conditions, it can result in blurred vision while reading.
Why are Visual sensations from images focused on the side of the retina tend to be blurred?
because there are more rods than cones in this region
What is the innermost layer of the eye called?

What is the layer of photoreceptors?
the retina contains the rods and cones which sense the amount of light and different colors respectively.

Can the eye sight be damage because of retina condition?
Yes, the retina is a pivotal part of the eyes ability to see.
What is the medical term meaning any error in which images do not focus properly on the retina?
The medical term for this condition is "refractive error." Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina, leading to blurred vision. Some common types of refractive errors include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
