In short-sightedness (myopia), the image is focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in distant objects appearing blurry while close-up objects remain clear. This occurs due to the eyeball being too long or the cornea being too curved.
For short-sightedness (myopia), concave lenses are used to diverge light before it reaches the eye, helping to focus the image correctly on the retina. For long-sightedness (hyperopia), convex lenses are used to converge light before it reaches the eye, assisting in bringing the image into focus on the retina.
Yes, a lens can be designed to correct both short-sightedness (myopia) and long-sightedness (hyperopia) depending on the specific prescription needed. These types of lenses are called multifocal or progressive lenses, which have different sections to correct vision at different distances.
Convex lens is used to correct long sightedness (hyperopia). This lens helps to converge the light rays entering the eye, allowing the image to focus correctly on the retina.
Concave lenses help reduce long-sightedness by diverging light rays before they reach the eye, allowing the eye to focus the image properly on the retina. This helps correct the refractive error that causes distant objects to appear blurry to individuals with long-sightedness. By providing the additional focusing power needed, concave lenses help bring distant objects into clear focus.
In long-sightedness, or hyperopia, the eye focuses light behind the retina due to a shorter than normal eyeball or a less curved cornea. This results in difficulty seeing close objects clearly. The eye can compensate by altering the shape of the lens to focus the image correctly on the retina, or by over-focusing, which can cause eyestrain and headaches.
gadha is also called short sightedness
Long-sightedness, also known as hyperopia, occurs when the eye is unable to focus on nearby objects. Short-sightedness, or myopia, happens when the eye struggles to see distant objects clearly. Long-sightedness can cause blurry vision up close, while short-sightedness results in blurry vision far away. Both conditions can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
For short-sightedness (myopia), concave lenses are used to diverge light before it reaches the eye, helping to focus the image correctly on the retina. For long-sightedness (hyperopia), convex lenses are used to converge light before it reaches the eye, assisting in bringing the image into focus on the retina.
Myopia means short sightedness. Nearsighted is also a synonym for short sighted.
