The lens of the eye is semi hard and can be squeezed to change shape. When you squint you are changing the shape and focusing the light on the back of the eye. As you get older, around 42 years old, your lens gets a harder to manipulate and needs readers to help focus.

What happens to the light when it enters the eye of long sightedness people?

In long-sighted (hyperopic) individuals, the eye focuses light behind the retina instead of directly on it. This can result in difficulty seeing close-up objects clearly. The condition can be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses that help focus light properly on the retina.


Why does light bend when it enters the eye?

The curved surface of the cornea turns light waves inward toward the lens (a sturdy tissue inside the outer eye) which focuses light on the retina at the back of the inner eye.


Explain how light is refracted by the eye?

Light entering the eye is refracted by the cornea and lens before it reaches the retina. The cornea does most of the refracting and focuses the light towards the lens. The lens then fine-tunes the focusing of light onto the retina, where the image is formed for the brain to interpret.


Which type of vision problem occurs when the lens of the eye focuses light in front of the retina instead of on the retina?

Myopia, or nearsightedness. This is when a person can see things clearly that are close up, but objects further away are blurred. It is one of the most common causes for one to need corrective lenses, or glasses.


Nearsightedness is caused by what?

Essentially it is because the lenses of the eye are too short, which focuses the light in front of rather than on the retina.
