The document discusses various defects of the eye, including myopia (near-sightedness), hypermetropia (far-sightedness), and presbyopia (age-related vision decline). Each condition is described with its symptoms and correction methods, such as the use of concave or converging lenses and corrective eyeglasses. It highlights advancements in technology that aid in correcting these refractive defects.

DEFECTS OF EYE
BY:S.Lokesh
• DEFECTS OF EYE and correction:

• Myopia [Short sightedness/near sightedness]

• Hypermetropia[long sightedness/far sightedness}


Myopia:

• Myopia is commonly known as near-sightedness. In this condition,


the person can see the objects nearby but cannot see distant
objects clearly. Faraway objects appear blurry, and a person will
not be comfortable seeing them. Myopia condition takes place
when the shape of the eyes leads the light rays to bend in a wrong
way, focusing images in front of the retina rather than focusing on
the retina.
Symptoms and correction of
myopia:

Symptoms:
• Blurry vision.
• Difficulty in seeing while driving, particularly during night times.

• Headaches due to eyestrain.


Correction :
When a concave lens of suitable power is used, it assists
in focusing the image onto the retina.
Hypermetropia:

• Hypermetropia is commonly known as far-sightedness. In this


condition, the person can see objects at a distance but cannot
see nearby objects clearly. Usually, the person with this
disorder squints to see nearby objects. Hypermetropia is
caused when the light rays from a closeby object are
focussed at a point behind the retina
Symptoms and correction of
HYPERMETROPIA

• Symptoms:

Blurry vision.
Headaches due to eyestrain.
Squinting.
• Correction :
Using spectacles with a converging lens imparts additional
focusing power and thus helps form the image on the retina.
Presbyopia:

We know that along with age, the power of the accommodation factor to
adjust the focal length also decreases. People have difficulties viewing
nearby objects clearly without the assistance of corrective eyeglasses. This
condition is referred to as presbyopia. Presbyopia happens when the ciliary
muscles weaken and diminish the elasticity of the eye lens. Presbyopia can
be seen in people above the age of 40 years
Symptoms and correction of
Presbyopia:

• Symptoms:
Blurred vision due to ageing.
Headaches due to eyestrain.

• Correction :
This condition can be corrected by using proper eyeglasses or
contact lenses. Minor surgery also helps in restoring the vision with better clarity.
Advancement in technology has made it easy to correct the refractive defects
with contact lenses or through surgical interventions.
