Presbyopia: It is the loss of near vision,
where some structures of the eye lose
Emmetropia: It is the state where the eye
does not have any defect or anomaly, and
it would be said to be an area of the eye.
Myopia: Refractive error that affects
distance vision, where light rays focus in
front of the retina causing defocus or
blurred vision.
Hyperopia: Refractive error that affects
near vision, where light rays focus behind
the retina causing blurred vision.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism: visual defect where light rays
focus on different points except the retina,
causing blurred and distorted vision.
Ophthalmologist: A doctor who specializes
in the direct care and treatment of the eye,
prescribes examinations, diagnoses and
treats a wide variety of anomalies. In
addition to prescribing lenses or correcting
with surgeries.
Optometry is the science that studies and Ophthalmologist
measures the physical and optical
phenomena of vision.

Glaucoma: Problem where a structure of
the eye called the optic nerve is damaged,
causing vision loss or blindness. It is
Presbyopia usually corrected with surgery.
Strabismus: It is an eye disorder that
causes the eyes to not align correctly
Glaucoma where both eyes cannot aim to observe
the same object. They are corrected with
prismatic lenses. Visual Acuity (VA): It is a test that is

small glass lenses that are placed directly
on the eye to correct refractive errors.
