Eyesight Correction ALLISON SCHNEIDER Far-sightedness, near-sightedness, where the image forms in your eye

Far-Sightedness: Difficulty seeing objects nearby, aching eyes, blurred vision of close objects, cross-eyes in children, eye strain, headache while reading

Farsightedness is the result of the visual image being focused behind the retina rather than directly on it. It may be caused by the eyeball being too small or the focusing power being too weak.

In an eye with farsightedness, light rays are bent into a point of focus beyond the retina. Farsightedness can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses to change the way light rays bend into the eyes. If your glasses or contact lens prescription begins with plus numbers, like +2.50, you are farsighted.

Nearsightedness:

When distant objects appear blurry. Blurred vision or squinting when trying to see distant objects Induces eyestrain and headaches

Glasses or contacts will shift the focus point to the retina! There are several surgical procedures that reshape the cornea, shifting the focus point from in front of the retina to the retina.

This blurred vision results when the visual image is focused in front of the retina, rather than directly on it.
