near objects appear blurred. Image formed

ASTIGMATISM
DEFECT OF SIGHT

A) Seeing part of an object clearer than the rest of

the object.
B) This defect is caused by the uneven curvature of
the cornea or eye lens.

HOW IT IS CORRECTED

A) Astigmatism can be corrected using cylindrical

lenses.
B) Astigmatism can be corrected using LASIK eye
surgery.
LIMITATION OF HEARING
Limitations of hearing are limitations in the
ability of the ear to hear sound. We can only
hear sounds of frequencies between the range of
20 hz to 20000 hz. The ears are unable to
detect sounds which lie outside this frequency
range. The frequency range of hearing of every
individual is different. When a person gets older,
the frequency range of his hearing gets narrower
as his eardrum become less elastic.
 DEFECTS OF HEARING AND
WAYS TO CORRECT THEM
Defects of hearing occur when the sense of
hearing of a person does not function well.
Defects of hearing are normally caused by
damage to the ear due to infection by
microorganisms, injury, ageing process or
continuous exposure to loud sounds.

Damages to the outer ear and middle ear can be

corrected easily. For example, the clearing
foreign objects in the ear canal. Punctured
eardrum and damaged ossicles can also be
corrected using medicine or surgery.
