Eye Health Topics

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Myopia is a common vision condition where you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to bend incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on it.

Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

Hyperopia is a common vision condition where you can see distant objects clearly, but objects nearby may be blurry. It occurs when light rays focus behind the retina instead of precisely on it, usually caused by an eyeball that's too short.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred vision. It occurs when the cornea or lens has an irregular curve, which prevents light from focusing properly on the retina. This causes vision to be blurred at all distances.

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is an age-related condition that affects your ability to focus on close objects. It typically becomes noticeable in your early to mid-40s and continues to progress until around age 65. Multifocal contact lenses can help correct this condition.
