What is Myopia? Myopia is a visual impairment caused by a defect in the refraction of light in the eye. Normally, the cornea and lens focus the incoming light on the retina, providing a clear image. However, in myopia, light is focused in front of the retina and distant objects appear blurred. This can be caused by anatomical features such as the cornea or lens being too curved or the eyeball being longer than normal. Causes of Myopia [...]
What is Eye Pressure (Glaucoma)? Eye pressure or glaucoma is a serious eye disease caused by increased intraocular pressure. Excessive production or slow drainage of fluid in the eye increases the pressure, which can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss. There are different types of glaucoma and treatment is planned on a patient-specific basis. Eye Pressure Symptoms Glaucoma in the early stages [...]

What is Astigmatism and How Does It Occur? Astigmatism is a refractive error that causes blurred vision due to focusing problems in the eye. Irregular curvatures of the cornea or lens in the eye cause light not to focus properly.

Factors such as genetic factors, aging and pregnancy can also contribute to the development of hyperopia. What are the Symptoms of Hyperopia? Blurred Near Vision: Reading books, writing [...]
