What is the antonym of myopic?
The opposite to myopic/myopia is HYPEROPIC/HYPEROPIA. Myopia is also known as short sightedness or near sightedness. Hyperopia is also known as long sightedness or far sightedness. A myopic eye focuses the image before it reaches the retina at the back of the eye. This is because the eye is too strong. A myopic eye will find it easier to focus on a close up object rather than a far away object. A myopic eye needs to be corrected with a minus/negative powered prescription lens (-). A hyperopic eye focuses the image after/behind the retina as a hyperopic eye is too weak. A hyperopic eye will have problems focusing on close up objects and in some cases it won't be able to focus at any distance. A hyperopic eye will be corrected with a plus/positive powered prescription lens (+).
What is near-sightedness?
myopia or "near-sightedness" as most of us refer to it is an eye condition.
What are other visual problems?
There are a lot of visual problems like, glaucoma.cataract,nystagmus,strabismus,retinal detachment, far sightedness and near sightedness.
What is scientific name for short sightedness?

How is near and far sightedness be corrected?

What does wavefront surgery correct?
The wavefront surgery corrects eye vision. It is used to correct refractive errors near sightedness, far sightedness and astigmatism. It is used to give people better eye sight.
What determines if you are near sighted or farsighted is coolness?
This question makes no sense. It is the shape of specifric parts of the eyes that determines far or near sightedness.
How are both near sightedness and far sightedness alike?
Both near-sightedness (myopia) and far-sightedness (hyperopia) are common refractive errors that affect how the eye focuses light. They occur due to the shape of the eyeball or the curvature of the cornea, leading to blurred vision at certain distances. Both conditions can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, and they are often caused by genetic factors. Additionally, they can both lead to eye strain and discomfort when trying to focus on objects at specific distances.
Can near sightedness be corrected with laser?
Yes. Laser is very expensive however. A cheaper alternative is glasses or contacts.

Which lens is used for treating long sightedness?
Convex lenses are used to correct long-sightedness (hyperopia). These lenses are thicker in the center and thinner at the edges to converge light rays properly onto the retina, which helps to improve near vision for individuals with hyperopia.
