The term near-sightedness or myopia describes the issue if you can’t see far in to the distance. Of the many people that you know with spectacles, it is likely that many of them have this challenge Essentially, the difficulty in this condition is that the eyeball is too lengthy to permit the light from a distant object to be focussed into view, quickly enough by the eye’s cornea and lens system. Therefore there is a blurry feel to the image that’s relayed onto the back of the retina. The eyeball is a little bit too long compared with the focusing power of the cornea and lens. This means light rays from objects in the distance are focused in front of the retina because they’ve been bent too much by the cornea and lens.

You often find that children become naughty or look at things with screwed up eyes to try to see the teacher better in class, when really the problem is that they have short sightedness. You commonly find that younger people suffer from this condition more than older people, at least that’s when the problem starts. Hence, you find kids getting teased about wearing spectacles at school.Recent research has indicated that viewing too much television may well make the short-sightedness condition worse, although at this stage there has been no evidence to suggest this is the case. So, what are your options are curing short sightedness? You can correct the problem of the misplaced focal point by introducing another “correcting” lens in front of the eye – either as a set of spectacles or contact lenses
