Astigmatism is the result of the eye’s physical characteristics. It is quite similar to myopia or hyperopia in that respect, though it is not nearly as common as either. Where myopia or hyperopia cause vision impairment because they focus light in front or behind the retina, respectively, astigmatism is caused when light does not focus […]
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Hyperopia affects an estimated 1 in 4 people. Hyperopia – also known as farsightedness – is very manageable with the use of modern treatments. Farsightedness is the result of the focal point of incoming light being behind the retina as opposed to its surface. This is usually due to changing physical characteristics of the eye, […]
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Myopia – also commonly referred to as nearsightedness – is a refractive error of the eye. It is a result of physical properties of the eye, such as the length and width of the eye relative to the curvature of the lens. The result of these physical factors is the changing of the focal point, […]
