Astigmatism
Do you experience a distortion or blurring of images at all distances, nearby as well as far? You may have
astigmatism. Even if your vision is fairly sharp, headache, fatigue, squinting and eye discomfort or irritation may
also be indicative of this condition.
Cataracts
Everyone gets cataracts with time. What is it? What does the surgery entail?
Color deficiency
What is color deficiency? What causes it? How is it detected, and can it be cured?
Double vision
Do you see two of whatever you are looking at, you may have a condition known as double vision, also known as
diplopia.
Flashes and floaters
Do you occasionally see specks or threadlike strands drifting across your field of vision? Then, when you try to
look at them, do they seem to dart away? If so, you're seeing what eye care practitioners call spots or floaters.
Hyperopia
Do you can see objects at a distance clearly but have trouble focusing well on objects close up? You may be
farsighted. Farsightedness or long-sightedness is often referred to by its medical names, hypermetropia or
hyperopia.
Lazy eye
Have you been told that you have a lazy eye? What is amblyopia and strabismus?
Low Vision
What can I do if my vision cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery? Low vision equipment
may be the answer.
Myopia
Do you can see objects nearby with no problem, but reading road signs or making out the writing on the board at
school is more difficult? You may be near- or shortsighted.
Presbyopia
Are your arms not long enough? Do you have problems reading material nearby, but the words snap back into
sharp focus when the book is held further? This may be the first sign of presbyopia.
