myopia
nearsightedness
The property of being nearsighted, myopia
nearsightedness
Common term for myopia Overpowered eye in which parallel light rays from a distant object are brought to focus in front of the retina Requires minus lens correction to "weaken" eye optically and permit clear distance vision
nearsightedness
Myopia is a condition which occurs when the eyeball is too long, or the eye's focusing mechanism is too powerful (cornea and lens), and light rays are focused in front of the retina People with this condition can see clearly up close but not at a distance
nearsightedness
— The inability to see things clearly at a distance (AOA) - A vision condition in which near objects are seen clearly, but distant objects do not come into proper focus Occurs if your eyeball is too long or the cornea has too much curvature, so the light entering your eye is not focused correctly It is a very common vision condition that affects nearly 30 percent of the U S population (JP) - MYOPIA - Refractive condition in which point of focus falls in front of the retina; nearsightedness (NEI) -MYOPIA - Nearsightedness; ability to see close objects more clearly than distant objects
nearsightedness
an inherited, sometimes stress-related condition that occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved The result is an inability to see at a distance The medical term for this condition is myopia Non-Specialty Spherical Contact Lenses: correct the most common visual requirements Most are manufactured by cast molding, but some are by lathing
nearsightedness
Also called myopia Condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina, resulting in defective vision of distant objects
nearsightedness
occurs when parallel light rays are brought to a point of focus in front of the retina of the eye, resulting in blurred distance vision Also called myopia
nearsightedness
Also called myopia The front curvature of the cornea is too steep in a nearsighted person resulting in good reading vision but poor distance vision See Free Eye Tests
nearsightedness
Having better vision for near objects than far ones
nearsightedness
Nearsightedness (Myopia) is the inability to see clearly at a distance It's the result of an eyeball that is too long or whose outside surface (the cornea) is too curved Nearsightedness can be inherited or caused by the stress of concentrating for long periods on close work
nearsightedness
the common term for myopia
nearsightedness
Medical name: myopia Other common names: shortsightedness, closesightedness Nearsightedness is a common vision defect caused by the shape and length of the eye, and may be accentuated by environmental stresses Nearsighted people can see close objects clearly and distant objects less clearly Special prescription glasses and contact lenses can correct nearsightedness Laser or incisional procedures are now being used with varying degrees of success to eliminate nearsightedness The risks associated with surgical interventions should be duly noted Although nearsightedness cannot be prevented, proper diagnosis, eye care and monitoring of the condition will bring things back into perspective!
nearsightedness
{i} near-sighted vision, myopia, condition of the eyes in which objects that are far away cannot be seen clearly (Ophthalmology)
nearsightedness
= able to see objects nearby more clearly than distant objects
nearsightedness
Common term for myopia
nearsightedness
A condition where the eyeball is too long and steep, so that light rays focus before they reach the retina The result is difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly
nearsightedness
Seeing distinctly at short distances only; shortsighted
nearsightedness
Inability to see clearly at a distance
nearsightedness
See Myopic, and Myopia
nearsightedness
(ophthalmology) eyesight abnormality resulting from the eye's faulty refractive ability; distant objects appear blurred
