Information
Some Eye Conditions Explained
Your eyes work similarly to a camera. Light passes through the Cornea into the Pupil, which can change its aperture to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.
Light then passes through the Lens which focusses the light onto the Retina at the back of the eye. The Retina transforms light into electrical impulses which are interpreted by the brain into the images you see.
Short- sightedness or Myopia
If light admitted to the eye focusses short of the Retina, then objects can only be clearly seen at close range.
To correct Myopia a minus lens is used. This is thicker at the edge that in the centre and alters the path of light to focus it correctly within the eye.
Long - sightedness or Hyperopia
Hyperopic eyes try to focus the light behind the Retina, which results in nearer images appearing blurred.
Hyperopia can be corrected with plus lenses which are thicker in the centre than at the edge and alters the path of light to focus it correctly on the Retina.
Presbyopia
In middle age the small muscles in the eye, which help the Lens to focus on near objects, begin to lose efficiency.
This is called Presbyopia and is similar in effect to Hyperopia. It can be corrected by adding plus power to any distance correction.
Astigmatism
Most eyes are spherical in shape (like a table-tennis ball), but in some cases they are slightly flattened (similar to a Tangerine). In these cases light does not focus evenly onto the Retina. This condition is known as Astigmatism.
Astigmatism can be present by itself or in combination with Myopia or Hyperopia and is corrected by the inclusion of a cylindrical surface in the spectacle lens.
