Near-Sighted

A nearsighted eye sees near objects within a certain range very clearly while distance vision appears blurry at all times. An estimated 70 million people in the U.S suffer from this condition. Most often caused when the eyeball is too long for the focusing power of the lens and cornea, nearsightedness creates an overpowered eye which causes images to reach true focus in front of the retina. Correction requires a "minus" lens to "weaken" the eye optically to permit clear distance vision.

The shape of a nearsighted eye focuses images in front of the retina, producing a blurred distance vision. By reducing the cornea's focusing power, a spherical contact lens creates a single focal point on the retina where vision is sharpest.

post by anita from chennai at July 9, 2009 I would like to inform all Myopians that the eye exercises can reduce the stress and relax us in great way and the minus power also reduces, The school for perfect eye sight, Pondichery helps people to get rid of all eye problems. Any body trained by that school can share their experience in this sight - Anita, Chennai
