What are the differences between long-sightedness and short-sightedness, and how do they affect one's vision?
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.

Can the same lens be used to correct both short sightedness and long sightedness?
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.
Is also called short sightedness?
Myopia means short sightedness. Nearsighted is also a synonym for short sighted.
How do glasses solve the problem of short and long sightedness?
Short and long sightedness are caused by the lens of the eye focusing the light either in front of or behind the retina. Glasses alter the path of light going into the lens to adjust for this.
What lenses would you use for short sightedness and long sightedness?
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.
