it is possible for a person to have both myopia and hypermetropia(hyperopia).The defect can be corrected by using bifocal lens.
myopia and Hypermetropia

Myopia is characterised by a slight elongation of the eyeball, causing the image to fall in front of the retina, while hypermetropia is characterised by a slight shortening of the eyeball, causing the image to fall a little behind the retina. In both cases, blur circles are formed instead of image points leading to blurring of the overall image.
Laserbehandling is a method of improving eyesight and correcting eye diseases such a Myopia and Hypermetropia. Two different types of Laserbehandling are LASIK and LASEK/ ELSA.
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.
are conditions where a person cannot see distinctly and comfortably. There are three common eye defects, and they are(i) myopia or near-sightedness, (ii) Hypermetropia or far-sightedness, and (iii) Presbyopia. These defects are corrected by the use of suitable spherical lenses.
Only 6%-15% of children with myopia come from families in which neither parent is myopic. In families with one myopic parent, 23%-40% of the children develop myopia. If both parents are myopic, the rate rises to 33%-60%

Yes, myopia (nearsightedness) and presbyopia (age-related difficulty in focusing on close objects) can coexist. A person with myopia can still develop presbyopia as they age, leading to challenges with both distance and near vision. This dual condition may require different corrective lenses for optimal vision at various distances. Regular eye examinations are essential to address both issues effectively.
If it is written as +2 Diopters it is positive, ie a converging lens. If it is written as -2 Diopters it is negative, ie a diverging lens. Diverging lenses are prescribed for myopia, or short-sightedness. Converging lenses are prescribed for hypermetropia or long-sightedness.
No, myopia is not a sex-linked trait. It is a complex trait influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While genetics play a role, there is no direct link to sex chromosomes determining the development of myopia.
