What are all the different types of visual impairment?
Some types of visual impairment include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, presbyopia (age-related difficulty focusing), cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Each type of visual impairment affects vision in different ways and to varying degrees.
What are the three common vision problems?
The three common vision problems are myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (blurred vision due to irregular cornea shape). They can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery.
What is the significance of the far point of a myopic eye in understanding vision impairment?
The far point of a myopic eye is the point at which objects appear blurry. Understanding this helps in diagnosing and managing vision impairment, as it indicates the eye's inability to focus on distant objects properly, leading to nearsightedness.
What are contacts for?
Contacts are transparent discs placed on the eyes to correct vision, either for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. They are an alternative to glasses, are worn directly on the eye, and can provide a wider field of vision.
What type of lenses help correct vision problems?
Concave and Convex
What do the terms farsightedness and nearsightedness mean?
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.

What kinds of vision problems can be corrected by LASIK surgery and by PRK surgery?
Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can be corrected using LASIK or PRK.
Types of Visual impairment?
Types of visual impairment: Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), Astigmatism, Albinism, Amblyopia (lazy eye), Cataracts, Coloboma, Glaucoma, Nystagmus, Optic Nerve Atrophy, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Retinoblastoma, Retinopathy of Prematurity, Strabismus, Cortical Visual Impairment, Partially Sighted, Blind, Convergence Insufficiency, Binocular Vision, Brown's Syndrome, Blurry Vision, Traumatic Brain Injury, Depth Perception, Diplopia, Double Vision, Eye Tracking, Focusing
What if only your left eye vision is bad?
It is not uncommon for eyes to have a different state of nearsightedness or farsightedness. You should consult your eye care professional if you are concerned .

Compare nearsightedness and farsightedness in terms of defects?
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.
What is iLasik?
iLasik (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) is the most commonly performed laser vision correction procedure for patients suffering from nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
What do lenses in eye glasses do to the light that passes through them?
Lenses in eyeglasses bend and focus light to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. They help the eye to focus light directly on the retina, allowing for clearer vision.
Does a pair of eyeglasses transmits light?
No, eyeglasses do not transmit light. They help focus light entering the eye onto the retina to improve vision. The lenses in the eyeglasses refract light to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
What is the significance of the far point of a myopic eye in understanding vision impairment?
The far point of a myopic eye is the point at which objects appear blurry. Understanding this helps in diagnosing and managing vision impairment, as it indicates the eye's inability to focus on distant objects properly, leading to nearsightedness.
How do contact lenses work to correct vision?
Contact lenses work by altering the way light enters the eye, helping to focus it properly on the retina. This correction allows for clearer vision by compensating for refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
