SIGHTEDNESS PREYSBYOPIA
(MYOPIA)
r Is a genetic disease.
r Due to lack of certain photoreceptors on
the retina (colour receptors cells).
r People cannot determine some or all
colours (most often between red and
green).
r Cannot be corrected.
r Caused by the irregular surface of the
cornea or lens, or both.
r Cannot see distant or near object clearly.
r Correction :
Wearing glasses with cylindrical lenses
Special contact lenses
Surgery
r In old people :
Eye lens becomes harder and less elastic
The muscles of the cilliary body lose their ability
to contract and relax.
r Both near and distant object maybe out of
focus.
r Correction : use bifocal lenses
