    DEFECTS OF VISION AND
    CORRECTIVE MEASURES
    RAY DIAGRAMS -NIKILESH.P

    There are several common defects of vision, and corrective


    measures often involve the use of lenses. Here are three
    common vision defects and the corresponding corrective
    measures with the power of lenses:
    Myopia (Nearsightedness):
    - Defect: In myopia, distant objects appear blurry, while close
    objects are seen clearly. This occurs when the eyeball is too long
    or the cornea is too curved.

    - Corrective Measure:Concave lenses are used to correct myopia.


    These lenses diverge incoming light before it reaches the eye's lens,
    allowing the image to focus correctly on the retina.

    - Power of Lens: The power of the concave lens is represented by


    a negative value (e.g., -2.00 D), indicating its diverging nature.
    Hyperopia (Farsightedness):
    - Defect:Hyperopia results in clear vision for distant objects but
    difficulty focusing on close objects. This occurs when the eyeball is
    too short or the cornea has insufficient curvature.

    - Corrective Measure:Convex lenses are used to correct hyperopia.


    These lenses converge incoming light before it reaches the eye's
    lens, allowing for proper focusing on the retina.

    - Power of Lens:The power of the convex lens is represented by a


    positive value (e.g., +3.00 D), indicating its converging nature.
    Astigmatism:
    - Defect: Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens has an
    irregular shape, causing blurred vision at various distances. Both
    near and far objects may appear distorted.

    - Corrective Measure: Cylindrical lenses are used to correct


    astigmatism. These lenses have different curvatures in different
    meridians, compensating for the irregularities in the cornea or
    lens.

    - Power of Lens: The power of the cylindrical lens includes


    information about the axis of rotation and the degree of
    astigmatism (e.g., -1.25 D at 180 degrees).
    It's essential to note that the power of the lens is measured in
    diopters (D). Positive values indicate converging lenses (convex),
    negative values indicate diverging lenses (concave), and cylindrical

    lenses have both positive and negative powers in different

    meridians.
