Defects of vision and corrective

Defects

Corrections

Short sightedness or myopia


Characteristics :

A distant object cannot be seen


clearly because the image is
focused in front of the retina.
This is because the eye lens is
too thick or the eyeball is too
long.

It is corrected by using a
concave lens to diverge the
rays of light on the retina

It is corrected by using a
convex lens to coniverge the
rays of light on the retina

Long- sightedness or hypermetropia


Characteristics :

A near object cannot be seen


clearly because the image is
focused behind the retina.
This is because the eye lens is
too thin or the eyeball is too
short.
