  2. Presbyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia

    Presbyopia is a physiological insufficiency of optical accommodation associated with the aging of the eye; it results in progressively worsening ability to focus clearly on close objects. [4] Also known as age-related farsightedness [5] (or as age-related long sight in the UK [6]), it affects many adults over the age of 40. A common sign of ...

  3. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    People with hyperopia have blurry vision when viewing near objects because the eye is unable to focus the light sufficiently. This can be corrected with convex lenses, which cause light rays to converge prior to hitting the cornea. [13] Presbyopia: When the flexibility of the lens declines, typically due to age. The individual would experience ...

  4. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    Manifest hyperopia: It is the amount of hyperopia not corrected by ciliary tone. Manifest hyperopia is further classified into two, facultative and absolute. Facultative hyperopia: It is the part of hyperopia corrected by patient's accommodation. Absolute hyperopia: It is the residual part of hyperopia which causes blurring of vision for distance.

  5. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    Presbyopia, physiological insufficiency of accommodation due to age related changes in lens (decreased elasticity and increased hardness) and ciliary muscle power is the commonest form of accommodative dysfunction. [50] It will cause gradual decrease in near vision.

  7. Near point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_point

    A corrective lens can be used to correct hyperopia by imaging an object at the typical near point distance D onto a virtual image at the patient's actual near point, at distance NP. [2] From the thin lens formula, the required lens will have optical power P given by [3] [4].

  8. Glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasses

    For people with presbyopia and hyperopia, bifocal and trifocal glasses provide two or three different refractive indices, respectively, and progressive lenses have a continuous gradient. [1] Lenses can also be manufactured with high refractive indices, which allow them to be more lightweight and thinner than their counterparts with "low ...

  9. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    Eyeglasses for a high-diopter nearsighted or farsighted person cause a visible distortion of their face as seen by other people, in the apparent size of the eyes and facial features visible through the eyeglasses. For extreme nearsightedness, the eyes appear small and sunken into the face, and the sides of the skull can be visible through the lens.
