Common Eye Conditions

 Nearsightedness - This is also known as myopia a medical term for

nearsightedness. A person can see objects clearly when they are close to
them, but objects at a distance will appear blurred.
 Farsightedness - This is also known as hyperopia and is the opposite of
nearsightedness. A person can see objects clearly that are far away, but
objects close to them are blurry.
 Astigmatism - The surface of the cornea or lens is not spherical, causing
your eyes to focus at two separate points instead of one. This can cause eye
strain, discomfort, headaches, blurred/distorted eyesight, night vision
problems and more. We can easily treat astigmatism with proper contacts or
eyewear.
 Presbyopia - Condition in which the lens of your eye changes and is less
flexible, making it difficult to focus on objects that are near. This can occur
around Age 40 and later. There are many visual changes between ages 40-
60, but after Age 60 they become more severe.
Optical Instruments.

Lenses: Multiple lenses are employed in equipment that uses lenses to generate
pictures, such as telescopes and microscopes. Analyzing any system with several
lenses reveals that it operates in phases, with each lens forming a picture of the
object.

Telescope: A telescope is used to see an item from a great distance away, hence it
must have at least two lenses. The first lens produces a smaller picture that is
closer to its focal point.

Microscope: A microscope is used by scientists to investigate bacteria, cells,

crystalline formations, and molecular structures.

Periscope: Probably the most famous use of periscopes is on submarines to allow

the crew to view the outside environment while remaining submerged.

Kaleidoscope: The primary application of kaleidoscopes has historically been as

an optical toy to create symmetrical artistic patterns for visual entertainment.

Some Causes of Eye Problems

Eyestrain
Anyone who reads for hours, works at a computer, or drives long distances knows
about this one. It happens when you overuse your eyes. They get tired and need to
rest, just like any other part of your body.

Red eyes- Their surface is covered in blood vessels that expand when they’re
irritated or infected. That gives your eyes the red look.

Night Blindness- hard to see at night

lazy eye or amblyopia, happens when one eye doesn’t develop properly. Vision is
weaker in that eye, and it tends to move “lazily” around while the other eye stays
put.
