Full Page View The human eye is the organ which gives us the sense of sight, allowing us to learn more about the surrounding world than we do with any of the other four senses. We use our eyes in almost every activity we perform, whether reading, working, watching television, writing a letter, driving a car, and in countless other ways. Most people probably would agree that sight is the sense they value more than all the rest. The eye allows us to see and interpret the shapes, colors, and dimensions of objects in the world by processing the light they reflect or emit. The eye is able to see in bright light or in dim light, but it cannot see objects when light is absent. process of vision Light waves from an object (such as a tree) enter the eye first through the clear cornea and then through the pupil , the circular aperture (opening) in the iris The light waves are converged first by the cornea , and then further by the crystalline lens , to a nodal point ( N ) located immediately behind the back surface of the lens . At that point, the image becomes inverted (turned upside-down).

Refractive surgery with the Allegretto resulted in 20/20 vision or better in 87% of myopia patients and 66% of hyperopia patients at six months. In both trials, patients also experienced a mean decrease in problems with postoperative glare, measured by a subjective questionnaire taken both preoperatively and postoperatively. "This is remarkable. It’s unheard of in the annals of refractive surgery," said investigator William Bond MD, who reported the results of the hyperopia trial.

Refractive Error and Presbyopia Refractive Surgery Can I Have Refractive Surgery? Realistic Expectations ... LASIK Quiz Refractive error exists when light does not focus perfectly onto the retina. Almost everyone has some degree of refractive error, whether they know it or not. The three types of refractive error are myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. These are all in contrast to “emmetropia”, which is the complete absence of refractive error. Emmetropes see clearly far away without needing to exert focus. Myopia or “nearsightedness”. Patients with myopia, both young and old, see more clearly up close than far away. Hyperopia or “farsightedness”. In hyperopia, it is more comfortable to see far away than up close. Youngsters can often compensate for hyperopia by kicking in extra focusing effort (often without knowing) to clear objects at all distances. Unlike emmetropes, hyperopes must exert effort just to see clearly far away. While emmetropes need to expend effort to see clearly at near, hyperopes need to exert even more effort to see clearly at near.

Yorktown Virginia Eye Anatomy Astigmatism Blepharitis Cataracts ... Sty Hyperopia Farsightedness (hyperopia) is a vision condition in which distant objects are seen more clearly than near objects. This common condition occurs if your eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, so light entering your eye is focused behind the retina. Common signs of farsightedness includes difficulty in concentrating and maintaining a clear focus on near objects, eye strain, fatigue and/or headaches after close work, aching or burning eyes, irritability or nervousness after sustained concentration. In mild cases of farsightedness, your eyes may be able to compensate without corrective lenses. In other cases, your optometrist can prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct this condition by altering the way the light enters your eyes.

Financing Seminars SEARCH Home Common Refractive Problems Refraction refers to the bending of light rays as they pass through one medium to another, such as from air to water. As the light rays pass through the tissues of the cornea and the lens, they are bent (refracted) in a manner that brings them into focus upon the retina. Three components determine an eye's refractive characteristics: the shape of the cornea, the power of the lens, and the length of the eyeball. When these components are in correct proportion to one another, light is focused directly on the retina resulting in clear vision (normal). However, in many eyes, these components are not in the correct proportion to one another, resulting in the refractive problems of myopia (nearsightedness) hyperopia (farsightedness) , and astigmatism. Another common problem, presbyopia , begins to affect persons over 40 years of age. Presbyopia, or "aging vision," occurs as the natural lens of the eye becomes less pliable, which make focusing on near objects increasing difficult.

96. Hyperopia And Reading Reading causes Myopia or hyperopia inhibits reading? There are basically two schools of popular thought when it comes to how myopia (nearsightedness) develops. http://bandit.pc.cs.cmu.edu/lasik/hyperopia.html

Reading causes Myopia or Hyperopia inhibits reading? There are basically two schools of popular thought when it comes to how myopia (nearsightedness) develops. You basically have the eye doctors on one side and the natural vision people on the other. Most doctors and others in the first group believe that myopia is primarily caused by genetic factors. There are many studies to back up this idea. The natural vision people believe that myopia is caused by close work with no genetic factors. Many of these people practice methods like the Bates Method , which teaches to relax your eyes and "learn" to see better. Both sides have their respective scientific studies backing their claims up. Others, in the middle, think there are both behavioral and genetic influences involved. If you perform a quick Google search, you will find a lot of contradictory information, from both of these schools. I found that no one vehemently denies any behavioral factors, while many sites will write off genetic factors completely with little or no hard evidence. This was my first clue that the studies finding a genetic link have probably been conducted scientifically. This site was pure comedy. I don't actually want to get into this fray - the thing that bothers me is that there are very few pop culture references to the idea that being myopic could predispose people toward reading. This isn't to say that reading definitely doesn't contribute at all to myopia, but the established correlation between heavy readers and myopics may have something to do with the fact that it is easier to read when you are an uncorrected myopic.

Clearing up Myop ia Hyperopia , and Astigmatism Let me know what you think about this section. Refractive errors are really quite difficult to understand, but if you are considering any type of refractive surgery , it is essential that you have at least some knowledge of your refractive error, and how presbyopia will affect you as you age. Keep in mind that once you have had refractive surgery, your eyes will be emmetropic , unless you elect to have monovision. Emmetropia (Normal distance vision) and Presbyopia (Aging)* Everybody wants to be normal, and if your eyes are normal then you are said to be emmetropic . Emmetropes (folks with normal eyes) naturally see clearly in the distance. Anatomically, images in the distance are focused perfectly on the retina by the cornea and lens . AND if you weren't jealous already, these luck devils can also see clearly at near UNTIL they reach the age of about 42. The reason emmetropes can see clearly at near while they are young is because the lens of the eye can change its shape so that it thickens and provides extra magnifying power. The process whereby the lens thickens is called accommodation , and prior to age 42 we accommodate automatically, effortlessly. Then this horrible thing happens and we start to loose our ability to accommodate in process is called
