What is myopia?
Myopia, known in English as Myopia, is one of the common problems that affects more than 20% of the global population.
This problem means that a person is able to see close objects clearly, but he finds it difficult to see distant objects, as a result of the light coming from them being focused in front of the retina, instead of on it.
What is farsightedness?
The problem of farsightedness is known in English as hyperopia or farsightedness. It is characterized by difficulty in seeing close objects or blurring them, and seeing distant objects well. The shape of the eye and the degree of curvature of the cornea affect the accuracy of vision.
What is astigmatism?
Astigmatism is one of the problems that requires medical intervention to correct. It occurs when the cornea of the eye is more curved than usual, which affects the refraction of light and the accuracy of vision.
