Question

list three common refractive defects of vision

Answer 1

he most common types of refractive errors are myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. Myopia (nearsightedness) is a condition where objects up close appear clearly, while objects far away appear blurry. With myopia, light comes to focus in front of the retina instead of on the retina.

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Hypermetropia\:}}$

Defect

→ In this defect a person cannot see nearby objects clearly but distant objects are clearly visible.

Correction

→ This defect can be corrected by using

suitable convex lens. This defect is also called long sightedness.

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Myopia\:}}$

Defect

→ In this defect a person cannot see distant objects clearly but nearby objects are clearly visible.

Correction

→ This defect can be corrected by using suitable concave lens. This defect is also called near sightedness.

Cause

→ Cause of Myopia: This defect arises due to either ,

1). elongation of the eye ball.

2). excessive curvature of the cornea.

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Astigmatism\:}}$

Defect

→ In this defect a person cannot focus in both horizontal and vertical lines clearly.

Correction

→ This defect can be corrected by using cylindrical lenses. During this rays of light converge as lines instead of converging as points on the retina.

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Presbyopia\:}}$

Defect

→ ) It this defect a person cannot see nearer as well as distant objects clearly.

Cause

→ It is due to weakening of the ciliary muscles and also elasticity of the eye lens decreases.

Correction

→ It can be corrected by bifocal lenses.
