How Vision Correction Changed Whitney’s Life
Why is My Vision So Poor?
Clear vision depends on how light rays are focused, or “refracted”, through your eye. The shape of your cornea, the power of the lens, and the length of your eyeball all determine how well the eye refracts light. When the eye cannot properly refract light, the results are what’s referred to as a refractive error, which leads to less-than-optimal vision. But vision correction can change all that.
Normal Vision
With the absence of a refractive error, light rays are accurately and clearly focused directly on the retina. This allows people without refractive error to see all objects clearly.
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Nearsightedness (myopia) occurs when the cornea is too steep or the eyeball is too long. Images of distant objects are blurred, but close objects are clear.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Farsightedness (hyperopia) results when the cornea is too flat or the eyeball is too short, causing near objects to appear blurred. Some farsighted people cannot focus on distant or near objects.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism occurs when the curvature of the cornea is uneven and is shaped more like a football than a baseball. This creates multiple focal points in the eye, making it difficult to focus on objects clearly
