Some of the most common, correctable vision problems include: MYOPIA: Commonly called “nearsightedness,” this vision condition results in seeing nearby objects clearly and faraway objects poorly. ASTIGMATISM: This visual impairment is the result of an irregular curvature in the eye. Instead of being shaped like a basketball, the eye is shaped more like a football. Astigmatism affects the way the eye processes light and results in varying degrees of blurred vision. HYPEROPIA: Commonly called “farsightedness,” this vision condition results in seeing faraway objects clearly and nearby objects poorly. PRESBYOPIA: This age-related condition causes a decrease in the eye’s ability to sharply focus on nearby objects due to the hardening of the eye’s lens. NORMAL VISION MYOPIA HYPEROPIA ASTIGMATISM 7
