Short SightednessNear Sightedness - OK and Then What?
If, much like me you do have a challenge with not having the ability to see far in the distance, maybe you have short sightedness. It is a common problem in fact it is highly likely you are aware someone with this particular condition, even if you yourself, don’t actually have it.
You find that with people who have near-sightedness, their eye sockets are too long. Hence, when the light beams come into their eyes from an object in the distance, the person’s cornea and lens are too powerful to focus the image on the fovea of the retina. Short-sightedness manifests itself when individuals can clearly see close-up objects however distant objects will appear blurred and fuzzy.Subsequently, the picture of the tree or television or whatever is not clear.So, people with short sightedness see things that are nearby without any difficulty. But if they are trying to look at something in the distance, they end up squinting to see the image more clearly.
Often, the condition is first noticed in older children and young teenagers. Short sightedness can run in families, so short-sighted parents are more alert to the possibility of their children having sight difficulties.Actually the problem can even get better as an adult, as the muscles controlling the lens get weaker or stiffer Excessive study at school; faulty positions when reading and writing, bad light for work will all cause short-sight in after life. You can correct the problem of the misplaced focal point by introducing another “correcting” lens in front of the eye - either as a set of spectacles or contact lenses
