    Nearsightedness: What Are Some Common Vision Problems?

    Uploaded by

    Nearsightedness occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea is too steeply curved, causing images to form in front of the retina and making distant objects appear blurry. Farsightedness happens when the eye is too short or the cornea is not curved enough, resulting in near objects appearing blurry while distant objects are seen clearly. These common vision problems can be corrected through the use of contact lenses or eye surgery to reshape the cornea and change how light is focused on the retina.
