   Q. What is myopia?
   Q. What is hyperopia?
   Q. What is astigmatism?
   Q. What is presbyopia?

   Q. What is myopia?
   A. Myopia is nearsightedness. A myopic eye can see near objects clearly. Distant    objects are seen clearly only with the help of glasses, contact lenses or refractive    surgery. Light entering the eye  focuses in front of the retina.

   Q. What is hyperopia?
   A. Hyperopia is farsightedness. A farsighted eye can see distant objects more clearly    than near objects, however, neither of them is in crisp focus, especially after the age    of  forty. Farsightedness can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive    surgery. Light entering the eye focuses behind the retina.

   Q. What is astigmatism?
   A. Astigmatism is a condition that occurs when the cornea has more than one   curvature (like a football as opposed to a basketball). These multiple curvatures bend    light differently and blurred vision is the result. Light entering the eye focuses on or in    front of the retina, multiple focal points.

   Q. What is presbyopia?
   A. A presbyopic eye cannot see near objects clearly when distance vision is corrected    with glasses or contact lenses. It usually occurs after the age of forty. Presbyopia    can be corrected with bifocal glasses or reading glasses. It can also be corrected with    refractive surgery.
